2018 Thomas Boccon Bourgogne Cote d'Or Blanc

勃根地黃金丘的優雅表現，奶油感與礦質並存，十分快意。

為什麼選它？
1) 地塊性格明確 -> 土壤帶來的礦感讓酒不膩，吃菜更合拍。
2) 桶與澄澈平衡 -> 適度橡木與與瓶陳帶來層次，仍保留鮮明酸度。
3) 成熟年份表現佳 -> 2018 年份呈現成熟果實與持久餘韻，立即飲用亦賞心悅目。

侍酒師私房筆記：
前調是檸檬皮、白色石果和輕微的奶油酥皮感；入口先被活潑酸度抓住，中段轉為柔滑的酵母與烤杏仁香，尾段有細緻的鹽感礦質，餘韻乾淨。建議飲前醒 30–45 分鐘，溫度 10–12°C 最能表現線條。

田地與釀造：
來自 Côte d'Or 的小型田塊，人工採收後以木桶發酵並在細泥上熟成，釀酒師掌控新桶比例與攪桶頻率，目的是在保留鮮活果味的同時增加口感厚度。

場景化配餐指南：
週末家宴烤雞、與朋友分享的奶油蘑菇燉飯、或與海鮮同桌——在香港的小餐館或家中都能提升整餐層次。

降維打擊對比：
比起大牌勃根地要價更親民，但保留同樣產區的礦質與橡木技巧；想要勃根地風格、又不想破產的首選。

Soul Hook: A Côte d'Or white that balances creamy oak and pinpoint minerality — approachable now, rewarding with a little air.

Why choose it?
- Terroir-driven balance -> Delivers clear mineral backbone with richer textural layers for immediate pleasure.
- Thoughtful élevage -> Gentle oak and lees ageing add complexity without masking freshness.
- Vintage maturity -> 2018 shows developed stone-fruit notes and a long savoury finish.

Winemaker & Vineyard Notes:
From the Côte d'Or, Thomas Boccon crafts wines that reflect hillside soils and measured cellar work. Grapes are hand-harvested, fermented in oak (with a portion in newer barrels) and matured on fine lees with occasional bâtonnage, producing a wine of layered texture and bright acidity.

Sommelier's Private Note:
On the nose: lemon curd, pear, toasted almond and a hint of pastry. On the palate: ripe white fruit framed by racy acidity, a creamy mid-palate from lees contact and a salty-mineral thread through the finish. Serve lightly chilled; decant briefly if you prefer a rounder profile.

Occasion Ideas:
A refined weekend dinner in Hong Kong — think roast chicken for four, special-date seafood, or a casual but elevated home-cooking night with mushroom risotto.

Competitive Edge:
Offers Côte d'Or character and cellar technique at a fraction of top-tier Burgundy prices — terroir clarity with approachable drinking now.
