Tasting note
黑教皇1962年擁有成熟波爾多的典型風貌:初聞皮革、菸草、雪松與陳年黑果,入口後展現細緻而圓潤的口感,單寧已柔和但仍支撐著酒體,餘韻悠長,帶有李乾果、香料與煙燻盒的回味。
酒莊背景:Pape Clément 歷史悠久,現由 Bernard Magrez 擁有,並邀請 Michel Rolland、Julien Viaud 擔任顧問,兼顧傳統與當代釀造技巧。葡萄園重視分地管理,獲得 Terra Vitis 與 HVE3 等環境標章。
釀造小記:採用人工小箱採收、現場與酒莊嚴格篩選,逐粒去梗後以重力注入30–70百升木槽,低溫前浸、人工踩帽、30–40天浸皮,入法國橡木桶完成發酵與18個月陳年,橡木與乳酸發酵賦予柔和香氣與結構。
田間與口感:田間以草生或犁地交替,採取綠色修剪與減少病蟲害策略,手工管理讓每個地塊都能表現獨有風味。喝起來偏向中上等酒體,酸度清爽平衡,口感圓潤且層次豐富,適合搭配紅肉與熟成奶酪。建議醒瓶約45分鐘,讓香氣與口感完全展放。
1962 Château Pape Clément displays the layered complexity expected of a mature Pessac‑Léognan cru. Aromas open to leather, tobacco, cedar and late-season black fruit, followed by savory, earthy tertiary notes. On the palate it is medium‑full with polished, integrated tannins, balanced acidity and a long, lingering finish that reveals dried plum, cigar box and a hint of balsamic spice.
Producer notes: Under the ownership of Bernard Magrez and with consulting input from Michel Rolland and Julien Viaud, the estate blends tradition with careful modern techniques. Vineyard management emphasizes parcel-based attention, green cover and environmental certifications (Terra Vitis, HVE3).
Winemaking: Grapes are hand-harvested into small crates, sorted in the vineyard and at the winery, destemmed berry by berry and transferred by gravity into large wooden vats. Low-temperature pre-fermentation maceration, manual punchdowns and a 30–40 day maceration precede racking to French oak barrels. Malolactic fermentation and 18 months ageing in oak complete the maturation, giving the wine its oak spice and structural depth.
Vineyard notes: Parcels are worked with a mix of grass cover and ploughing, with integrated pest management and vigor control. The estate’s meticulous, parcel-based viticulture contributes to the wine’s layered complexity and refined texture.
Service tip: Gently decant (about 45 minutes) to remove any sediment and allow tertiary aromas to lift. Best with rich red meats and mature cheeses.
