2019 Chateau Cantemerle

這支佳德美2019來自Haut-Médoc的經典級園，酒體溫和而有層次，先以黑紅果香打頭，隨即帶出橄欖、煙草與溫潤的木香。口感以絲滑細緻的單寧為主軸，酸度爽朗，香料與些許泥土感讓整體更有深度，收結長且帶活力。酒廠採人工分級採收與全去梗，短程高溫發酵後長時間浸皮，最後以法國橡木桶（40%新桶）陳年約12個月；葡萄園為矽質與卵石礫石土壤，老藤、密植與嚴格叢中管理帶來果實集中與平衡。上桌前醒酒約一小時，最適合搭配紅肉、燒烤或濃郁奶酪，享受順滑單寧與悠長餘韻。

A classic Fifth Growth from Haut-Médoc showing concentrated, elegant Médoc character. Aromas open to black and red berry fruits with olive, tobacco and cedar notes over subtle vanilla from medium-toast French oak. On the palate the wine displays silky, polished tannins, lively freshness and a layering of spicy, peppery and earthy flavours culminating in a long, poised finish. Produced from well-drained silica and gravel soils, the domaine vinifies with total destemming, hand sorting, 6–8 days fermentation at 24–28°C and extended maceration (20–25 days). Aged 12 months in French oak barrels (40% new). Hand-harvested with careful vineyard selection; the property manages mature vines at high density for concentration and balance. Best served after decanting for about an hour; pairs beautifully with grilled or roasted red meats, game and mature cheeses.
