Tasting note
這瓶來自厄米塔日山坡的白酒,色澤金黃,氣味濃郁卻不失清晰感。初聞帶出礦石般的鹹感、焦糖化的桃子與乾檸檬皮,還有些許烤麵包和溫和的木香。入口飽滿,質地細緻,酸度明亮使整體保持活力,口中有烤杏仁與暖香料的回味。酒體厚實但平衡感佳,空氣中層次逐步展開,餘韻精準且悠長。建議飲前醒約45分鐘,最適合搭配香草烤肉、奶油海鮮或成熟乳酪。酒莊採用對土壤與自然的尊重做法,從田間到酒窖都追求純淨與表現產地特色的風味。
A concentrated Hermitage white with a golden hue and striking clarity. The nose opens to intense mineral notes, caramelized and grilled stone-fruit, dried citrus peel and subtle toasted-bread aromas with a discreet, well-integrated oak presence. On the palate it delivers a broad, generous attack, finely textured mid-palate and an exotic freshness that balances ripe fruit and saline minerality. Roasted almond and warm spice nuances emerge with aeration. Built for both near-term enjoyment and extended cellar life, this bottling shows remarkable focus, energy and a very long, precise finish. Best decanted about 45 minutes before serving to reveal layered complexity. Pair with roasted poultry, herb-crusted pork, rich shellfish in butter sauce or mature cheeses.
Winery
沙普提亞(M. Chapoutier)由米歇爾與馬克.沙普提亞家族主理,是羅納河谷具代表性的酒莊,重視風土呈現與田間管理。莊園在多個園區採用生物動力與嚴謹栽培,分地塊釀造以保留各園特色。樂美雅來自位於暖性沖積礫石坡的老藤,人工採摘後整穗壓榨,約一半在600公升大新橡木桶發酵,其餘於缸中發酵,並在澄清與攪動細泥(lees stirring)下於木桶中陳年,以掌握最佳的接瓶時機。
M. Chapoutier is a family-driven Rhone house led by Michel and Marc Chapoutier, renowned for its focus on terroir and careful vineyard management. The estate embraces biodynamic practices on many sites and works single-vineyard parcels to express site identity. Le Méal comes from old vines on a warm fluvioglacial slope; fruit is hand-harvested, gently pressed, partly fermented in large new 600L oak casks and partly in vats, then aged on lees with regular stirring before bottling.
