Tasting note

品嚐筆記：這款2020年份在杯中散發明顯的紅、黑果香，帶著香草與新橡木的烘烤香氣，果味純淨而精準。入口絲綢般的單寧包裹著飽滿果肉，中段有微微的鹹香與泥土感，讓整體更有層次感與地區特色。 生產與釀造：酒莊年產約七萬瓶，風格重視平衡與細緻，這支酒以橡木桶陳年塑造結構與香氣（新桶香明顯但不搶果），在保留鮮明果味的同時提供溫潤的中段口感。瓶塞採用軟木，適合陳放或短期醒瓶享用。 葡萄園與風土：來自聖愛美濃的石灰岩與黏土地塊，土壤賦予酒體良好的深度與礦性，園中細緻的梢葉管理與嚴格選果，讓果實在成熟時保持純度，適合以橡木輔助發展更完整的風味。 飲用建議：建議醒瓶約45分鐘，配烤牛羊或帶脂肪的豬肉料理最合拍。

Tasting note: Plush and inviting, this Saint-Emilion reveals a vivid core of red and black fruit framed by a clear vanilla and toasted-oak spice. The fruit is pure and precise, moving from ripe cherry and plum into darker bramble notes, while a savory, earthy thread gives it classic right-bank character. The tannins are silky and polished, providing structure without harshness, and the finish is clean and lingering. Producer notes: From an estate producing roughly 70,000 bottles, this cuvée shows the house’s preference for polished, traditionally-built wines that balance fruit generosity with measured oak. The 2020 vintage delivers ripe concentration while retaining freshness. Winemaking: Aged in oak (noticeable new-oak spice and vanilla), the wine was handled to preserve clarity of fruit and texture. Maturation in barrel has imparted spice and a gentle creaminess to the mid-palate while maintaining a reserved frame for cellaring through the recommended drinking window of 2024–2035. Vineyard: Sourced from Saint-Emilion terroirs, the vineyards benefit from classic limestone and clay-influenced soils that bring both depth and lift. Vine selection and canopy work aim to produce concentrated, well-ripened fruit suited to careful oak aging.
