2024 William Fevre Chardonnay Espino Gran Reserva

一支在智利陽光下長大的清新霞多麗，果味乾淨、橡木柔和，喝得到層次但不累贅。

【為什麼選它？】
1) 產地特色 -> Pirque晝夜溫差，保留爽口酸度，讓酒餐搭配更百搭。
2) 橡木與不鏽鋼混合釀法 -> 既有奶油感與香草烘烤氣息，也保留新鮮果核與礦物感，入口平衡好喝。
3) 布根地式工法落地智利 -> 技術細膩但售價親民，適合想要品質但不想破費的你。

【釀酒與葡萄園筆記】
葡萄來自Pirque的坡地與沖積土層，排水佳，日照充足夜溫低，有利於累積果香但保留酸度。採收偏早到適中，低溫壓榨，部分於法國橡木桶發酵與熟成以增加口感厚度，其他於不鏽鋼槽保持明亮果味。

【侍酒師私房筆記】
聞到檸檬皮、青蘋果和一抹黃桃，帶著細緻香草與輕烘烤香。入口先是清爽果酸，中段有柔滑的奶油感，尾段回到礦物與鹽感，餘韻清晰不拖泥帶水。醒個半小時，香氣會更立體。

【場景化配餐指南】
適合香港家庭週末烤雞、週日晚的海鮮餐，或與帶香料的中式煎焗五花肉配襯，亦能配海鮮意粉或中等辛香的咖喱。

【降維打擊對比】
比起同級進口布根地白酒，這款有類似的細緻感與木桶筆觸，但價格與飲用友善度更高——今天就能開瓶享受，不必等。

A bright, modern New World Chardonnay that balances ripe fruit and gentle oak for everyday luxury.

【Why choose it?】
1) Carefully crafted from Pirque fruit -> Delivers focused fruit purity with clean acidity, making it versatile at the table.
2) Oak-integrated texture -> Subtle vanilla and toast frame the fruit without overwhelming, so you get richness without heaviness.
3) Contemporary Burgundian touch in Chile -> Burgundian know-how meets sun-kissed vineyards for refined expression at a strong value.

【Winemaker & Vineyard Notes】
From William Fevre's Chilean project, Espino Gran Cuvée captures Pirque's warm days and cool nights. Grapes were handled to preserve freshness — early picking for acidity, gentle press, a combination of stainless steel for brightness and partial fermentation/maturation in French oak for texture and spice. Soils in Pirque lend good drainage and a mineral underpinning that keeps the wine lively.

【Sommelier's Private Note】
On the nose: zesty lemon, green apple and a hint of stone fruit. On the palate: a creamy mid-palate from subtle oak, then a clean saline-mineral finish. Refreshing start, rounded centre, finishes with restrained length — great for dishes that need brightness and a touch of weight.

【Occasions & Pairing】
Perfect for relaxed Hong Kong dinners: roast chicken on a Sunday, seafood plates at a weekday dinner, or to cut through the fattiness of Chinese-style pork belly. Decant ~30 minutes to let the aromatics open.

【Competitive Edge】
Offers Burgundian stylistic restraint and oak finesse at a New World price point — a refined alternative to pricier imports with easier drinkability right away.
