Tasting note
品飲筆記:此酒來自佛內 Santenots 一級園,瓶陳多年後展現成熟而迷人的層次。杯中先是紅櫻桃、乾草莓的溫柔果感,隨之而來的是潮濕森林、菇類和皮革的泥土香,還有一抹雪松與煙草的深度。口感絲滑,單寧細緻而圓潤,酸度仍保有活力,餘韻悠長且帶些鹹香。 生產者概況:尼古拉·羅西諾(Domaine Nicolas Rossignol)為當地小型酒莊,重視園地個性與人工照管,追求低產高質。這款酒是園地特色的真實呈現,保有佛內一級田應有的優雅與份量感。 釀造手法:採用傳統布爾岡做法,發酵過程控制溫和、採取較柔和的浸皮以保留細緻香氣;於法國橡木桶中熟成,有限度地使用新桶,之後長時間瓶陳以讓單寧與風味融合。 葡萄園與地塊:Santenots 一級園位於中坡,泥灰質與石灰岩混合土壤,日照與排水良好,常造就比鄰近園更豐腴、帶礦物感的酒款。 飲用建議:輕輕醒酒約半小時,避免過度曝氣以保護細緻的成熟香氣;建議搭配烤鴨、野味或經典紅肉料理,口感會更出色。
Tasting Note: A mature Premier Cru from Santenots showing tertiary complexity — red cherry and dried strawberry at the core, layered with forest-floor, mushroom and savory leather notes. Cedar and tobacco edge add depth, while the palate is defined by silky, fine-grained tannins and a refreshing, lingering finish. Producer Notes: From Domaine Nicolas Rossignol, a small, dedicated Volnay producer known for site-focused expressions. This bottle reflects careful, low-yield viticulture and long bottle ageing, showing the elegant, slightly more generous Santenots character. Winemaking Notes: Traditionally fermented with gentle extraction and aged in French oak barrels with a measured use of new wood to preserve fruit clarity. Extended élevage and subsequent bottle maturation have softened tannins and developed complex tertiary aromas. Vineyard Notes: Sourced from Premier Cru Santenots vines on mid-slope clay-limestone soils with good sun exposure. The site typically yields wines with a bit more structure and flesh than neighbouring plots, balanced by poised acidity and mineral backbone. Serving: Decant gently for about 30 minutes to open aromas without flattening fragile tertiary notes. Best enjoyed slightly below room temperature. Ideal with richer poultry, game birds and classic beef preparations.
