2023 Tertre Blanc

來自 Margaux 的白酒，清爽有骨，入口卻帶絲滑木桶質感。

【為什麼選它？】
1) 產區優勢 -> 高位礫石土壤和溪水調節溫差，酒有礦感又不悶。
2) 人工精選 -> 手工採摘、只取首榨，口感乾淨，少雜質，適合餐桌配搭。
3) 橡木調教 -> 九個月陳桶添厚度，仍保留活潑酸度，適合不想太清淡也不想太重的人。

【侍酒師私房筆記】喝起來像把白桃、柑橘和花香裹在奶油裡：中段圓潤、質地絲滑，尾段收得乾淨帶一點海鹽感和香草香。醒個三十分鐘，風味會更一致，酒精感柔順，不會壓過菜。

【場景化配餐指南】週末烤雞、清蒸海魚、帶奶油醬的海鮮義大利麵，或是好友小聚配幾款軟芝士都合適——在香港的晚餐桌上既不上頭也不失面子。

【降維打擊對比】比起那些動輒高價的波爾多白，這支更親民但保有產區特色和橡木層次，換言之：質感接近名莊，價格更友善。

Soul Hook: A Margaux-born white that marries bright energy with a creamy, oak-kissed core.

Why choose it? 1) Estate terroir -> lively minerality and freshness that lifts food pairings. 2) Oak-aged finesse -> a silky mid-palate and subtle spice without heaviness. 3) High-quality production -> hand-harvested, whole-bunch pressing and careful selection for consistent, approachable bottles.

Sommelier Notes: On the nose you'll find citrus blossom, white peach and a hint of exotic fruit, folded into fine oak spice. The palate is medium-bodied and silk-smooth, buoyed by crisp acidity and a saline, persistent finish — think creamy fruit that keeps its lift. There’s a delicate vanilla/cream thread from barrel ageing but the wine stays focused and lively.

Winemaking & Vineyard: Hand-picked, whole-bunch pressing with only first presses retained. Fermented in stainless steel and matured (notably with a portion aged in new French oak) for around nine months to build texture and complexity. The grapes come from elevated Margaux gravel outcrops where sun, drainage and a cooling stream temper heat and stress — ideal for balance and tension.

Occasion: Perfect for a refined weeknight roast, a seafood-centric dinner, or as the go-to bottle for guests when you want something recognizable yet intriguingly different.

Competitive Edge: Delivers Margaux terroir character and thoughtful oak treatment at a price point well below many Bordeaux white rarities — excellent value for collectors and everyday entertaining alike.

Winery

Chateau du Tertre 位於 Margaux，雖以紅酒著名，卻在高地礫石地塊推出了這支白酒。莊園由 Eric Albada Jelgersma 管理，Les Grands Chais de France 擁有，並聘有外部顧問協助。葡萄園有良好排水和溪流調節溫差，採用手工挑選、整串壓榨與嚴格分級，部分新橡木桶陳年以堆疊口感但不搶酸度。

Chateau du Tertre — a Margaux estate now producing a distinctive white under Vin de France. Managed by Eric Albada Jelgersma and owned by Les Grands Chais de France, the property benefits from elevated gravel outcrops and a cooling stream that promotes drainage and temperature balance. Consultant winemaker guidance and hand-harvested fruit lead to meticulous sorting, whole-bunch pressing and selective ageing (including a notable proportion of new French oak) to create textured, balanced whites.
