2021 Petit Mouton

來自Mouton山丘的小牌，展現左岸經典的結構與風味力道。

【為什麼選它？】
1) 酒莊血統-> 出自Mouton團隊，品質有保證，性價比高；
2) 羅斯柴爾德式陳年手法-> 18個月法國橡木桶，帶出香料與順滑口感但不蓋果味；
3) 山丘級礫石土壤與老樹-> 單寧細緻、礦感持久，既能即飲也能收放幾年。

【侍酒師私房筆記】打開是雪松、煙草和黑果的第一印象，接著有點橙花的細緻提升。入口酸度帶動整體，果實成熟卻清爽，單寧細而有抓力，餘韻帶鹹礦質感，很適合慢慢聊的晚餐或節慶聚會。我會建議醒一小時，讓香氣更立體。

【田地與釀造】葡萄園位於Plateau de Mouton小山丘，土壤以深厚礫石為主，密植與約44年樹齡的老藤提高果實濃度；酒款經18個月法國橡木桶陳年，旨在平衡結構與果味，不刻意強調新桶印記。

【場景化配餐指南】週末和朋友燒烤牛扒、節日晚餐搭紅燒牛腩或搭成熟硬芝士都很配；不想等太久的收藏家也能馬上享用。

【降維打擊對比】比同產區大牌更早展現風格、價格更容易入手；品質有第一線團隊背書，但卻更靈活、用途更多樣。

A Pauillac second wine with First-Growth pedigree—concentrated structure and polished power from the Plateau de Mouton.

【Why choose it?】
1) Estate pedigree -> Enjoy Mouton Rothschild lineage at a more accessible price and earlier approachability.
2) Precision oak ageing (18 months in French oak) -> Subtle spice and silky texture without overwhelming fruit.
3) Hillock gravel terroir & mature vines -> Refined tannins and mineral persistence for decades to come.

【Winemaking & Vineyard Notes】Made and overseen by the Mouton team, this vintage is matured 18 months in French oak. Vineyards sit on the Plateau de Mouton—deep gravel soils, high density planting and average vine age around 44 years—giving ripe concentration, firm structure and clear mineral definition.

【Sommelier's Private Note】On the nose: tobacco, cigar-box cedar and blackcurrant with a floral lift. The palate moves with confident acidity, ripe dark-fruit core and fine-grained tannins that frame a long saline finish. Ready sooner than the grand vin but rewards a short decant and good company.

【Occasion】Perfect for a Hong Kong steak night, small celebratory dinner with matured cheese, or when you want a structured, ageworthy bottle without breaking the bank.

【Competitive Edge】Delivers the Mouton house stamp—oak finesse, terroir-driven minerality and cellar potential—at a fraction of the First-Growth price, making it a high-value pick for collectors and serious drinkers.
