2017 Chateau Coutet Saint Emilion Grand Cru Cuvee Demoiselle

品飲筆記：這款聖埃美隆的酒款散發黑色漿果與熟櫻桃的香氣，夾帶些微的香料、雪松與煙草氣息。入口層次豐富，酒體中等偏飽滿，丹寧細緻但有力，酸度平衡，礦物與微鹹的收尾讓整體口感更耐人尋味。

酒莊與生產：古特酒莊由 David Beaulieu 掌管，注重田間管理與葡萄的成熟平衡。這支酒呈現莊園追求風土表現的方向：成熟果實與清新酸度並立，結構優雅。

釀造小記：釀程重視柔和萃取與控溫發酵，為的是保留優雅香氣與果實純淨度。中度橡木陳年帶來細緻香料與雪松的點綴，但不蓋過果味本身。

葡萄園與土壤：來自聖埃美隆典型的坡地與黏土—石灰質土壤，排水與礦物感兼具，幫助酒款在濃郁中保有明快輪廓。

飲用建議：建議醒酒約一小時至一小時半，溫度維持在16–18°C，讓香氣充分展開，口感更為圓潤順口。

Tasting note: On the nose this Saint-Emilion Grand Cru opens with ripe dark fruits—blackberry and black cherry—layered with cedar, dried tobacco and a gentle spice note. The palate is medium–full, polished and well structured: smooth, silky tannins frame concentrated fruit, with an earthy-mineral thread and a persistent, gently savory finish.

Producer notes: From Chateau Coutet, a respected property in Saint-Emilion under the ownership of David Beaulieu, this bottling presents the estate's focus on balance and site expression. It aims for ripe fruit intensity without sacrificing freshness or structure.

Winemaking: Carefully managed vinification emphasizes gentle extraction and maturation to preserve aromatic complexity. Aging in oak adds subtle spice and cedar lift while keeping tannins refined and integrated.

Vineyard: Fruit comes from vineyards typical of the Saint-Emilion Grand Cru plateau—well-drained soils with mineral and clay-limestone influence that lend both concentration and an elegant mineral backbone.

Serving: Best opened and decanted about 60–90 minutes before serving to let aromas bloom and tame primary edges. Serve at cellar-warm temperatures around 16–18°C.
