Tasting note

這款來自愛米塔日山腳的經典紅酒，帶著深沉而多層次的黑色果實香氣，黑櫻桃、桑葚伴隨墨香、黑胡椒與烤野味的氣息。口感集中且有礦感，帶點粉狀、白垩質的邊緣；甘草與深色可可在核心處點綴。單寧厚實但細緻，結構扎實，收尾冗長且回味悠遠。 酒莊與田間：沙普提亞家族（Michel & Marc Chapoutier）在這塊名為Greffieux的田區以生物動力栽培管理，葡萄園位於愛米塔日山腳，土壤為冰川沖積礫石與黏土層，賦予酒款獨特的礦物性與結構感。 釀造手法：人工採收，完全去梗後在水泥缸中長時間浸皮發酵，以溫和方式萃取單寧，只取自由流出的汁液。陳年14–18個月：三分之一新橡木桶，其餘使用過一至兩次的桶，澄清採自然沉澱、不過濾、不打膠。 建議品飲：建議醒酒約一小時，能讓香氣層次更開展；搭配烤羊或野味最能襯出它的力度與礦物細節。

A concentrated, terroir-driven red from the foot of the Hermitage hill. On the nose it opens with layered black fruits—mulberry and black cherry—over notes of ink, tar and black pepper. The palate is dense and focused: mineral and chalky edges frame a core of dark berry, liquorice and a dark-cocoa savor. Tannins are powerful yet refined, giving structure and longevity; the finish is long and resonant. Producer notes: From biodynamically tended sites owned by M. Chapoutier, this cuvée is born in the Greffieux parcel at the base of the Hermitage hill where glacial alluvial terraces of shingles and clay impart stony minerality. Winemaking: Hand-harvested and fully destemmed, the fruit is vinified in cement vats with long maceration to gently extract ripe tannins; only free-run juice is used. Ageing lasts 14–18 months in oak — about one third new and the remainder in once- or twice-used casks. Clarification is natural and the wine is unfined. Cellaring & service: While approachable now with decanting, the wine has the stuffing for long ageing. Serve slightly below room temperature after an hour’s decant to reveal its layered complexity.
