2016 Champagne Regis Poissinet 'Cuvee Irizee' Chardonnay Extra Brut

靈魂 Hook：2016 年份，Extra Brut 的骨感與酵母層次，喝得出年份與海洋礦感。

為什麼選它？
1) 年份限定，味道一體成像 -> 2016 的緊實酸度與清晰礦質感，容易辨識。
2) 極乾(dosage低) -> 與海鮮、壽司配合無敵，吃得到酸帶來的清爽動力。
3) 長期瓶陳在泥渣上 -> 帶來淡淡麵包皮和烘烤杏仁香，卻不厚重。

侍酒師私房筆記：Regis Poissinet 的這支酒像是在口中做健身：先有明亮的檸檬皮和青蘋果，接著是一道礦物鹽感把整體拉直，中段冒出細緻的酵母麵包與烤杏仁，氣泡細膩，尾韻乾淨而持久。建議開瓶後放在杯中 15 分鐘，溫度低但不是冰封，香氣會更活。

田地與釀造：來自香檳涼爽的白堊土壤園地，採收嚴格挑選、低產量管理；壓榨與發酵注重保留鮮明酸度，再做多年瓶內泥渣陳釀，最後極低甜度出瓶，目標是把地塊個性呈現出來。

場景化配餐指南：週末午餐配 Poisson frites，或中下午 Rooftop 小聚配生蠔與煙燻魚；想做高階家宴，用來開場或搭龍蝦都很合適。

降維打擊對比：比起大牌非年份香檳，這支給你更鮮明的年份表現與泥渣複雜度，價格卻親民，是懂酒的好選擇。

Soul Hook: Vintage precision — an extra-brut Champagne that balances chalky minerality with lees-driven depth.

Why choose it?
1) Single-vintage focus -> A clear snapshot of the 2016 growing season with delineated freshness and tension.
2) Extra Brut dosage -> Clean, bone-dry finish that keeps food flexible and the palate alert.
3) Extended lees ageing -> Brioche and almond notes for complexity without heaviness.

Producer Notes: Regis Poissinet is a small, quality-driven Champagne house that prioritises low-yield fruit and careful cellar work. This cuvée is made to express vintage character with minimal intervention and a low dosage to showcase terroir clarity.

Winemaking Notes: Whole-bunch pressing, primary fermentation with attention to freshness, followed by extended ageing on lees (several years) to develop subtle autolytic layers — brioche, toasted almond and a fine, persistent mousse. Disgorged with an extra-brut dosage to preserve tension.

Vineyard Notes: Fruit comes from cool, chalk-influenced sites in Champagne, harvested selectively to retain natural acidity and delicate aromatics. Low yields and careful canopy work produce concentrated, precise fruit.

Sommelier's Note: On the glass you'll find lemon zest, green apple and that signature chalky spine. The mid-palate opens to toasted brioche and a hint of almond, while fine bubbles and tensile acidity keep the wine poised. Serve well-chilled; give a short 15 minutes in glass to relax the initial tightness.

Occasions (Hong Kong): Perfect for a seafood-focused rooftop aperitif, a celebratory dinner at a Cantonese restaurant (pair with steamed scallops or lobster), or as an elegant welcome pour for a private dinner party.

Competitive Edge: Offers vintage complexity and low-dosage precision at a fraction of the price of marquee Champagne houses — a grower-driven expression with cachet and value.
