2022 Thomas Boccon Bourgogne Cote d'Or Blanc

勃根地黃金丘的精緻與親切價格並存，喝得到礦物與細膩奶油感。

為什麼選它？
1) 取自Côte d'Or小地塊 -> 帶出典型石灰岩礦感，吃海鮮更對味。
2) 控制式橡木與少量乳酸發酵 -> 增添口感圓潤但不掩蓋清新。
3) 價格實在 -> 能拿到勃根地風格、不用破頂級預算。

侍酒師私房筆記：酒杯先是一陣檸檬皮、青蘋果和白桃的清爽，入口有一條細緻鹹感的礦脈，接着是微微奶油與香草的溫柔包裹。酸度明快，酒體介乎中等偏上，收結乾淨、餘韻帶點礦物延伸。建議開瓶後醒約30分鐘，夏天可稍涼飲用，冷熱天氣都討好。

田地與釀造：Thomas Boccon 以Côte d'Or 小地塊採葡萄，土壤偏石灰岩，注重低干預與分級採收。發酵多在不鏽鋼與中性橡木容器間切換，短時間接觸新桶，保留果本身的線條與礦性。

場景化配餐指南：香港週末燒雞、和家人吃龍蝦或帶點奶油的蘑菇忌廉意粉都很合拍；也適合餐廳點做開胃白酒或與朋友share bottle。

降維打擊對比：比起同區大牌，這款更講性價比——保有Côte d'Or的地塊特質與結構，售價卻更親民，適合想喝精品勃根地但不想破產的買家。

Soul Hook: A poised Côte d'Or white that marries biting mineral clarity with gentle oak polish.

Why this bottle? 1) Terroir-driven minerality -> crisp, precise freshness that lifts food. 2) Subtle oak & cream -> adds texture without masking purity. 3) Excellent value for Côte d'Or -> Burgundy character at approachable price.

Sommelier's Notes: On the nose, brisk citrus, green apple and a whisper of white peach. Mid-palate shows a saline mineral thread and a light creamy layer from restrained oak and partial malolactic influence. Bright acidity keeps the wine lively; the finish is focused and lingering. Serve slightly chilled after a short decant (about 30 minutes) to reveal its layered drive.

Occasions & Pairing: Perfect for a relaxed Hong Kong weekend roast chicken, a weekend seafood feast, or a dinner party where you want elegant crowd-pleasing whites. Works beautifully with richer fish dishes, creamy pastas and soft cheeses.

Winemaking & Vineyard Notes: Thomas Boccon sources fruit from Côte d'Or parcels that give fine limestone minerality. Fermented in a mix of stainless steel and neutral oak with cautious oak ageing to preserve clarity. The style favors balance and terroir expression over heavy new oak.

Competitive Edge: Offers true Côte d'Or character—minerality and structure—without the premium marque price; a smart pick for collectors who want authenticity with strong restaurant appeal.
