2018 Thomas Boccon Meursault 1er Cru Les Poruzots

柔滑奶油感遇上礦物鹹感，典型 Meursault 一級園的平衡派對。

【為什麼選它？】
1) 產地力道 -> Poruzots 石灰岩斜坡帶出礦物與鹽感，讓豐厚不膩。
2) 橡木駕馭得當 -> 適度新桶香呈現杏仁、烤麵包皮，不蓋過果酸。
3) 現喝有層次 -> 既有成熟的堅果與蜂蜜味，又保留明快酸度，餐桌友好。

【侍酒師私房筆記】
這瓶打開會先聞到檸檬皮、白花和烤榛果，入口是奶油般的質地和飽滿的石果，中段帶出香草和微甜烤香，尾段則回到岩石、海鹽的清爽餘韻。建議開瓶後醒半小時，奶油與香草會更柔和，適合想直接上桌但又想多一點層次的場合。

【田地與釀造】
來自 Poruzots 一級園，土壤以石灰岩夾黏土為主，排水佳、成熟度均一。Thomas Boccon 小批量選果，手工釀造，法國橡木桶細緻陳年，目標是把田地個性（礦物、鹹感、結構）保留在酒裡，而不是把酒搞成橡木秀場。

【場景化配餐指南】
香港的週末家庭聚餐：烤走地雞配香草奶油、鵝肝吐司前菜或龍蝦烤半份，餐廳上菜時直接配白肉與奶油醬最合拍。

【降維打擊對比】
比起大牌同級別 Meursault，這瓶在價格與品質間更實在：有一級園風貌但不追名牌溢價，適合想買到地道 Burgundian 風格又不被账單嚇到的你。

A Meursault Premier Cru that pairs plush, toasty richness with precise mineral energy.

【Why choose it?】
1) Site-expressive terroir -> Poruzots' stony limestone gives saline precision under the creamy mid-palate.
2) Elegant oak handling -> Gentle élevage adds toasted almond and vanilla without masking freshness.
3) Ready-now complexity -> Shows developed tertiary notes while keeping lively acidity — perfect for special dinners.

【Winemaking & Vineyard Notes】
Thomas Boccon sources fruit from the Poruzots premier cru site, a slope of limestone and clay with excellent drainage and sun exposure. Grapes are hand-selected, vinified with attention to texture and matured in French oak barrels to marry richness with minerality. The result is a concentrated but balanced expression of Meursault's mid-palate richness and long saline finish.

【Sommelier's Private Note】
On the nose: lemon peel, baked apple, hazelnut and a hint of toasted brioche. On the palate: creamy entry, layered stone fruit and warm spice, finishing with chalky minerality and saline persistence — a wine that feels generous yet focused. Decant for half an hour if you want the butter and oak to soften further.

【Occasion / Pairing Guide】
Ideal for celebratory roast dinners, intimate seafood feasts or elevated family meals in Hong Kong — think roast chicken with herbs, buttered lobster or mushroom risotto.

【Competitive Edge】
Delivers signature Meursault Premier Cru depth and texture at a price point below many big-name estates; a smart pick for collectors and restaurateurs seeking terroir-driven Burgundies without the headline markup.
