2021 Reserve de la Comtesse

品飲筆記：酒色深邃帶紫紅縁，先是黑櫻桃與黑莓果醬的豐厚果香，逐步展現煙草、雪松與甘草的香氣，並有一抹血橙皮的清亮點綴。口感中等偏豐，酸感明快帶動果實，單寧緊緻卻打磨得圓潤，入口有黑巧克力與煙燻肉的鹹香，尾韻帶細緻的礫石與粉質感，餘味悠長。
酒莊與產地：來自波雅克的礫石丘與黏土下層，田地排水良好、受海風調節，使果實成熟穩定且保有清新酸度。此二牌忠實傳達酒莊風土：更早享用卻仍具結構與陳年潛力。
釀造工藝：全程採用重力流式作業，從收穫到入桶盡量減少機械壓榨對果實的干擾，嚴格分離自然流汁與壓榨酒，精準控釀以取得平衡。約以橡木桶熟成12個月，讓單寧更細緻、香氣更融合。這是一款兼具口感層次與餐酒適配性的經典波雅克表現。

Tasting note: Deep garnet with purple edges, this wine opens with a core of black cherry and blackberry confit layered with tobacco, cedar, licorice and a hint of blood-orange zest. On the palate it is medium-bodied, forward and polished — vivid acidity lifts the fruit while firm, well-knit tannins provide structure. Secondary notes of dark chocolate, smoked meat and a salty, chalky mineral thread linger through a long, savory finish.
Producer & vineyard: From the gravelly rises and clay subsoils of Pauillac, the estate benefits from maritime influence and very well-drained soils that concentrate flavor and give fresh acidity. This second-label bottling channels the domaine's terroir-driven clarity with a more accessible profile in its youth.
Winemaking & ageing: A gravity-flow approach guides the winemaking from reception to barrel, with careful separation of free-run and press fractions. Precision pressing and rigorous selection are used to balance structure and softness. The blend was matured in oak for about 12 months to refine tannins and integrate spice and toast notes, producing a wine that is immediate yet age-worthy.
