Tasting note

品飲筆記：杯中淡金色，先聞到明亮的柑橘與葡柚皮，接著是熱帶果、蜜瓜的香氣，帶有香草、奶油般的酵母香與細緻的烘烤橡木味。入口飽滿、質地圓潤，舌面有奶油般的酵母與礦感，酸度仍然清爽，橡木與陳釀餘韻以堅果、焦糖與微鹹收尾。 酒莊與田間：黑教皇（Château Pape Clément）由 Bernard Magrez 所有，是波爾多歷史悠久的莊園之一。莊園重視地塊管理：天然草地覆蓋、以牛馬翻土的傳統方式在行間鬆土、整合式害蟲管理，並取得 Terra Vitis 與 HVE3 高環境價值認證。葡萄以人工分兩次採收，確保最佳成熟度與選果品質。 釀造工藝：採整串輕壓於厭氧條件下保護香氣，靠重力入桶，於法國橡木桶中靜置發酵與陳年 16 個月；期間常搖動酒泥以帶出豐厚口感，約 15% 的酒液在混凝土蛋型槽中熟成，為酒體帶來額外張力。整體風格厚實而有層次，適合喜歡濃郁奶油感與成熟橡木風味的飲用者。建議開瓶前醒酒 45 分鐘，搭配油性魚或松露料理更出色。

Tasting note: Bright pale-gold in the glass, this Pessac-Léognan white opens with perfumed aromatics of grapefruit, orange zest and honeydew, followed by layered tropical notes of mango and ripe citrus. Subtle nougat and toasted oak weave through vanilla and a nutty, saline undertone. On the palate it is rich and unctuous yet lively — creamy lees and well-integrated new oak give weight and a velvety texture balanced by fresh acidity, finishing long and nutty. Producer & vineyard: Chateau Pape Clément, owned by Bernard Magrez and guided by consultants including Michel Rolland and Julien Viaud, is one of Bordeaux’s historic estates. The team practice parcel-based viticulture with natural grass cover, use of oxen and horse-drawn ploughing between rows, integrated pest management and hold Terra Vitis and HVE3 certifications. Grapes are hand-harvested in two passes to select optimum ripeness. Winemaking & ageing: Fruit is whole-berry pressed under inert atmosphere and gravity-transported to French oak barrels for settling and fermentation. The wine is aged 16 months in oak, with lees ageing and bâtonnage for texture; about 15% of the lot sees concrete egg ageing for additional tension. Result is a powerful, age-worthy white with oak influence that remains balanced by acidity. Serve lightly chilled and decant (about 45 minutes) if you want the oak and lees to breathe. Drinking window spans many years — approachable now for the richer profile, and cellarable for further integration.
