Tasting note

2009 年這款 Grand Cru 白中白來自一個細緻、重視產地的香檳莊園。酒液散發檸檬皮、青蘋果與白花香，隨著時間帶出烘焙麵包與淡淡蜂蜜的成熟感。口中氣泡細緻、觸感奶油般順滑，酸度明亮有力，礦物與鹽感如粉筆灰土般清晰，收結長而鮮明。 生產方面採手工分選，來自白堊為主的 Grand Cru 斜坡，生長環境受海風調節，熟成期長，瓶中與泥渣充分接觸提升香氣層次。釀造過程講求溫和壓榨、低劑量放頂糖與長時間瓶陳，保留產地特色與優雅結構。整體喝來既有年輕的活力，也帶年輪般的複雜，適合多種海鮮與經典料理搭配。

A poised vintage Champagne from Louis Dousset’s Grand Cru selection, the 2009 Brut Blanc de Blancs offers lifted citrus and orchard fruit aromatics threaded with toasted brioche and gentle honeyed notes from extended ageing. On the palate it displays intense, lively acidity and a fine, creamy mousse that carries precise lemon zest, green apple and a chalky, saline minerality to a long, sapid finish. The overall profile balances youthful energy with the savoury complexity of long lees ageing and a restrained dosage. Producer notes: From a small, family-focused grower-producer in Champagne, parcels are selected from Grand Cru sites known for deep chalky soils and cool maritime influence. Hand-harvested fruit, low yields and careful selection underpin the house style. Winemaking: Gentle pressing, primary fermentation in stainless and neutral vessels, extended bottle ageing on lees (many years) and a conservative disgorgement/dosage give this vintage its autolytic depth and polished texture. Minimal intervention in cellar preserves clarity and site expression. Vineyard: Grapes come from sun-balanced, Grand Cru slopes with chalk-rich subsoils that lend tensile minerality and saline lift. The cool climate ensures high natural acidity and slow, even ripening—ideal for a precise, age-worthy blanc de blancs.
