2016 Laurus Gigondas Rouge

深色酒體帶出成熟黑莓與黑櫻桃的豐厚果實感，伴隨地中海灌木（garrigue）的迷迭香、百里香氣息與黑胡椒香料。口感圓潤飽滿，酒精感溫暖但不厚重，單寧有力卻經拋光處理，支撐著整體結構與悠長辛香尾韻。釀造上以嚴選吉貢達產區葡萄，於低溫發酵掌控果香，少量法國橡木桶熟成以增加香料與可可層次。田間來自陽光充足、石礫與礫石混合的坡地，老藤產量穩定，能帶出成熟濃郁而不失地區特色的風味。輕鬆搭配烤羊排、燉肉或濃郁乳酪，開瓶醒酒一小時風味更顯圓融。

Deep ruby with purple edges, this Gigondas shows generous ripe dark fruit — blackberry, black cherry and plum — threaded with classic garrigue notes of rosemary and thyme. On the palate the wine is full-bodied and warm, with layers of black pepper, baking spice and a touch of leather and cocoa from gentle oak ageing. Tannins are firm yet polished, giving structure to a long, spicy finish. Ready to enjoy now after a good decant, it will also cellar gracefully through the early 2030s. Ideal with roast lamb, slow-braised beef or rich Mediterranean dishes.
