2021 Domaine du Meix Foulot Mercurey 1er Cru Monopole Clos du Chateau De Montaigu

這支一級園單一園（Clos）呈現沉穩而典雅的香氣：黑李、深櫻桃與紫羅蘭，伴隨些許香料和輕微烘烤的橡木香。酒體屬中等偏豐滿，入口有厚實的中段膨脹感，但單寧細緻且顆粒感良好，讓整體口感顯得很有質地。味道走線條分明、帶粉感的礦物質調性，收結持久且覆蓋感強。釀造上採取溫和萃取與桶陳，使木桶的香氣與果味達到平衡；田間種植於古老的Clos裡，土壤的石灰黏土印記明顯。建議先醒酒或短時間倒醒，與烤鴨、野味或略帶油脂的主菜尤其相配，慢慢品會愈來愈迷人。

A poised Premier Cru from a single clos, the 2021 shows a brooding but refined bouquet of plum, dark cherry and violet, edged by spice and a mildly toasty oak note. On the palate it is medium-bodied with generous mid-palate volume and a sophisticated mouthfeel built around fine-grained tannins. Linear and chalky in profile, the wine finishes persistent and palate-coating, with a clear mineral spine. The élevage shows a measured use of oak that adds toast and spice without overwhelming the fruit. Best enjoyed after a little time in the glass or short decanting, and will reward several years in bottle as it blossoms and gains complexity.

Winery

美福樂酒莊在梅克雷（Mercurey）頗有口碑，尤其擅長把小園地的風土特徵表現出來。莊園重視田間管理與適度收成，釀造時採用溫和萃取、桶陳定型的方式，讓果味、礦物與橡木相互襯托，產出的酒既有結構也保有優雅。

Domaine Meix-Foulot is a respected Mercurey producer known for focused Premier Cru expressions from tightly held parcels. The domaine tends to favor traditional Burgundian methods—careful vineyard work, gentle extraction at the winery and élevage in oak that supports rather than dominates the fruit—resulting in wines that balance structure and finesse.
