2021 Chateau La Fleur Petrus

Pomerol 高地經典，一口即見層次與張力。

為什麼選它？
1) 產地特性 -> 高地礫石與深層黏土并存，既有優雅礦感，也有厚實結構，杯中便能感受地塊差異。
2) 精細釀造 -> 人工採收、雙重分級（手工＋光學）、溫控發酵與溫和浸皮，單寧細膩不粗糙，入口更順。
3) 法國橡木陳年 18 個月 -> 肉桂、巧克力、咖啡的陳香與長尾韻，既能即飲也能收藏。

侍酒師私房筆記：醒個一小時，先聞到黑梅、黑果醬、帶苦甜的巧克力與一抹濃縮咖啡；入口是柔順的絲質單寧，酸度支撐讓整體不顯沈重，尾段冒出松露、皮革與淡淡鐵質礦感，餘韻長而優雅。適合想要有深度但又不想等十年的你。

田地與釀造：酒莊坐落於 33–38 米的 Pomerol 高地，礫石地塊帶出優雅線條，黏土地塊則賦予酒體與結構。全人工採收、嚴格選果後於混凝土與不鏽鋼槽低溫發酵，控制提取力道，最後以法國橡木桶熟成 18 個月。

場景化配餐指南：週末家宴的烤牛大塊切片、與朋友的羊架共享、或在慶祝宴席搭配陳年芝士都很合拍。醒 1 小時，肉味與醬汁會更接得住酒的層次。

降維打擊對比：沒有天價標籤，卻能給你 Pomerol 高地的經典表現 —— 始終如一的品質與陳年潛力，比起同級名酒，性價比明顯更優。

Soul Hook: A Pomerol plateau classic — dense dark fruit wrapped in velvety structure.

Why choose it?
1) Plateau terroir -> Distinct minerality and layered density: soils of gravel and deep clay give both elegance and backbone.
2) Meticulous vinification -> Hand-harvested, double-sorted and gently extracted: polished texture with refined tannins.
3) Long ageing -> 18 months in French oak yields spice, chocolate and a persistent finish ideal for cellaring or a special dinner.

Sommelier's Note: Open this for an hour and watch it unfurl — initial notes of black plum, dark chocolate and espresso move toward truffle, leather and a chalky mineral thread. Tannins are present but finely grained; acidity keeps the palate lively. It’s a wine that balances immediacy and longevity: approachable with decanting, rewarding with a few years in cellar.

Vineyard & Winemaking: Sourced exclusively from the Pomerol plateau at 33–38m elevation, the estate combines gravel-dominant parcels for finesse with clay-rich sections for density. Manual harvest, double sorting (hand + optical), temperature-controlled fermentation in concrete and stainless vats, gentle maceration and 18 months in French oak.

Occasion: An elegant choice for celebratory dinners — roast beef for family banquets, an anniversary steak night, or paired with a selection of aged cheeses at a private tasting. Fits Hong Kong’s fine-dining evenings and special-home gatherings.

Competitive Edge: Offers Pomerol plateau character and careful cellar work at a price point well below the top monopoles — serious aging potential and classic Bordeaux depth without the absolute market premium.
