2018 Domaine Bitouzet-Prieur Meursault 1er Cru Les Charmes

品飲筆記：第一印象是黃蘋果與柑橘的清新果香，伴隨蜂蜜和烘烤杏仁、奶油酥皮的香氣。入口質地滑順飽滿，奶油感與明快的礦鹽感互相平衡，中段豐滿圓潤，餘韻帶有溫和的香草與堅果尾調。酒莊與釀造：Bitouzet-Prieur 為一個家族小莊，由 Vincent 與 François 經營，重視以田地為本的做法，人工採收、嚴選果實，透過橡木桶發酵與長時間與酒泥接觸來累積結構與香氣層次。葡萄園環境：Charmes 頂級園位處黏質石灰土，日照良好且排水適中，能讓果實成熟而不失礦物感，使酒體既有豐富度又保有優雅的清爽感。建議醒酒半小時左右，享用時溫度不要過低以利香氣展開。

Tasting note: Ripe yellow orchard fruit and citrus zest open first, followed by honeyed nuances, toasted almond and warm pastry. The palate is rounded and creamy with a plush, buttery mid-palate balanced by a bright mineral lift and a long, gently nutty finish. Producer notes: From Domaine Bitouzet-Prieur — a family domaine led by Vincent and François Bitouzet in Meursault — this Premier Cru comes from the Charmes climat, known for producing rich, textured white Burgundies. Winemaking notes: Grapes are carefully selected and handled gently; fermentation and élevage in French oak impart subtle vanilla and toast while lees contact builds creaminess and depth. Vineyard notes: Les Charmes offers calcareous-clay soils and favorable exposures that concentrate ripe fruit while preserving minerality; yields are managed to emphasize terroir expression. Serve slightly chilled with 20–40 minutes of aeration to open the aromatics.
