Tasting note

品飲筆記：香氣誘人且集中，紅色與深色果實交織，帶有溫暖香料與細碎礦土感。口感果實飽滿但不沉重，鮮明而有彈性的酸度撐起李子與黑莓風味，伴隨一抹鹹香與緊緻礦質，橡木味融入得恰到好處，單寧細緻有支撐，收尾乾爽且悠長。 酒莊介紹：本酒來自單一封閉地塊（Monopole）的頂級園地，酒莊專注於展現產區風土，對田間管理與分地釀造相當講究，產品一向以經典、精緻著稱。 釀造說明：採用傳統發酵與溫和浸皮，保留香氣與新鮮感，之後於法國橡木桶中陳年（部分新桶），讓香料與木質感與果味融合而不壓制果實表現。 葡萄園環境：葡萄園坐落於石灰與黏土交錯的坡面，朝向與土壤條件有利於成熟但保持酸度。人工摘採、低產量與細心修剪，帶來濃縮果實與均衡結構。適合稍微醒酒後與油脂豐富的家禽或燉肉搭配。

Tasting note: Aromas open with fragrant, concentrated red and darker fruit framed by warm spice and a hint of earth. The palate is densely packed yet elegant — sappy acidity lifts plum and blackberry layers while savoury, mineral notes and subtle oak weave through. Silky but present tannins carry the wine to a long, dry finish. Producer notes: A true monopole from a single enclosed Premier Cru site, this bottling reflects meticulous parcel work. The domaine has long been associated with steady, terroir-driven expressions from Gevrey-Chambertin and this Clos des Varoilles shows that focus in bottle. Winemaking notes: Fermentation follows traditional methods with careful extraction to preserve freshness and aromatic clarity. The wine sees élevage in French oak barrels (a portion in newer wood) for an extended maturation period, resulting in integrated spice and a polished texture without overpowering the fruit. Vineyard notes: Planted on the limestone and marl slopes typical of the Côte de Nuits, the monopole benefits from favourable exposure and low yields. Vines of moderate age, attentive canopy management and hand-harvesting contribute to concentration and fine-grained structure. Ready to enjoy now with medium-term cellaring potential through the late 2020s.
