2022 Chateau de la tour Clos de Vougeot Vieilles Vignes Grand Cru

拉圖堡 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru：老藤深度，入口有層次的森林與松露氣息。

【為什麼選它？】
1) 老藤低產 -> 果味集中，結構紮實，既能當餐飲也可短中期儲藏。
2) Clos de Vougeot 肉桂與礦質土壤 -> 每一口都有鹹香與礦感，提升菜餚契合度。
3) 小產量手工處理 -> 感受產區特色，價格更有誠意。

【侍酒師私房筆記】第一縷是紅櫻桃與黑櫻桃，慢慢轉為林下土、蘑菇與一點松露的風味。口感圓潤但有緊緻的酸度和細緻單寧，舌面留有礦物感與香料尾韻。建議醒 60–90 分鐘，能把多層次拉出來，一邊聊天一邊慢慢喝最對味。

【釀造與田地】來自 Labet & Dechelette 在 Clos de Vougeot 的老藤地塊，石灰岩與黏土交錯的土壤帶來礦感與鹹度。葡萄人工精選，傳統釀法配合橡木桶陳年，重視果味純淨與細緻結構。

【場景化配餐指南】想像週末跟朋友在灣仔小酒館配燒味拼盤、或者飯局上配樟茶鴨、菌菇意大利燉飯，都能把這瓶的果酸與香料帶出層次。

【降維打擊對比】比起那些只靠名牌溢價的大酒莊，這瓶把 Clos de Vougeot 的地頭味和老藤濃度交給你，價格更實際，性價比高。

Soul Hook: A Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru that pairs Old World finesse with immediate appeal.

Why choose it?
- Vieilles Vignes concentration -> More depth and layered fruit for immediate pleasure and cellar potential.
- Grand Cru terroir -> Stony minerality and structure that lifts every sip.
- Small-production craft -> Grand Cru pedigree without the overblown price tag.

Tasting Note (Sommelier's private note): Ripe red and black fruits open first — cherry and raspberry — then the wine drifts into sous-bois and truffle, with a ribbon of sweet spice. The palate is sleek and refined: silky entry, fine-grained tannins, fresh acid backbone and a mineral core that keeps the finish long and focused. Young but generous: decant for 60–90 minutes to show its layers.

Producer & Winemaking Notes: From Labet & Dechelette’s holdings in Clos de Vougeot, this Vieilles Vignes Grand Cru is handled in the traditional Burgundian style: meticulous vineyard selection, gentle extraction during fermentation and élevage in French oak to stitch texture and spice into the fruit. Low yields and careful maturation underline clarity rather than power.

Vineyard Notes: Old-vine parcels in Clos de Vougeot's complex limestone-clay soils deliver concentrated fruit and mineral tension. The vines' age and the site’s slope produce grapes with natural phenolic ripeness and clarity of terroir.

Occasions & Pairing Guide: Ideal for a refined Cantonese roast dinner, an intimate celebratory meal, or a weekend dinner where the wine can be decanted and shared. Matches especially well with roast duck, wild mushroom dishes and medium-aged cheeses.

Competitive Edge: Offers real Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru character — truffle, forest floor and mineral drive — at a fraction of the price of headline domaines. A smart pick for collectors and diners who want terroir authenticity without the logo tax.
