2011 Chateau Clerc Milon

品飲筆記：酒色深邃帶紅寶石邊，香氣先是烘烤香料與煙草，慢慢轉為紅果、櫻桃核與些許礦物氣息。入口飽滿但不笨重，果味鮮明、單寧細緻有力，尾段帶一抹黑巧克力與微鹹收束，口感溫暖且留香悠長。生產小記：這瓶來自 Pauillac 的五級酒莊，2011 年屬乾熱年份，產量偏低但果實濃縮；整個採收於 9 月中下旬完成，注重果實成熟與純淨度。釀造工藝：在橡木桶中熟成 18 個月（55% 新桶），橡木與酒體融合良好，單寧細緻且結構分明。葡萄園與土壤：典型梅多克碎石上承黏土與石灰質，排水佳且利於根系深入，早花與充足日照造就濃郁但仍保有清新酸度的酒款。建議飲用方式：建議醒酒約 60–90 分鐘，搭配烤羊腿、煎牛排或陳年起司最佳。

Tasting note: Deep, radiant garnet in the glass with an aromatic lift of toasted spice, tobacco and red-fruit compote leading to darker cherry-stone and subtle mineral top notes. On the palate the wine is full, focused and well-defined: succulent fruit fronts refined, flavoursome tannins with a hint of dark chocolate and a slightly saline, lingering finish. Producer notes: From a 5ème Grand Cru Classé estate in Pauillac, this 2011 was made in a warm, dry vintage that produced low yields and concentrated, structured wines. Administrator Philippe Dhalluin oversaw a careful picking (12–28 September) and vinification aimed at clarity and precision. Winemaking notes: Fermented and matured for 18 months in barrels (55% new oak), the wine shows integrated oak influence and fine-grained structure. Harvest conditions delivered ripe phenolics while preserving freshness. Vineyard notes: The vineyard sits on classic Médoc gravel over clay-limestone soils. Early flowering and a hot, dry growing season (with a drier summer overall) gave ripe, concentrated fruit and natural depth. Serving suggestion: Decant for 60–90 minutes to allow the tannins to open. Serve with richer red meats, roasted lamb or mature cheeses.
