Clos L’Église 二十年垂直試飲

感謝Clos L’Église 的莊主Helene Garcin-leveque女士在這個改變了二十年的地方舉行Clos L’Eglise 的二十年垂直試飲。二十年間,高低起伏一定有,但見Clos L’Église 的風格一致:口感較濃的年份如05, 09, 10 及15年,既有成熟黑梅味之果香,也充滿香料和雪松木和茶葉香味。偶爾有果味較淡的年份如2007,口感較爽,會察覺多點野味,農莊的氣息;經典的97 及98 年令人驚喜,正是適飲時間,口感複雜,整體幼滑如絲。喝2015的酒,以濃度、果力和酸度推斷陳年的能力不錯,可以期待之後的變化,但這個改變了二十年的地方,可以有什麼期待?
另一個波爾多莊Clos L’Eglise在Mendoza造的Malbec Bodega Poesía,這片海拔900米的terroir再次證明這葡萄在阿根廷簡直是如魚得水。Helene 和 Patrice Garcin-leveque父婦於2001年發現了這片如詩般美麗的莊園,並將之命名為Poesia,即是Poetry。這片主要栽種Malbec 和Cabernet Sauvignon 的葡萄田平均樹齡長達80年以上,怪不得Poesia, Lujan de Cuyo, Mendoza 香氣如此複雜,嘗試以這支60% Malbec 的甜熟果味和 40% Cabernet Sauvignon的扎實backbone 將波爾多的優雅風格帶了過來。
Thank you Ms Helene Garcin-leveque for choosing Hong Kong, a place which have “changed” for 20 years as the venue of the Clos L’Eglise 20 vendanges event. There were good times and bad times throughout this 20 years but Clos L’Eglise have its consistancy on wine style and quality. 97 and 98 vintage demonstrated its complexity and elegance after aging. The power of 2015 vintage what about Hong Kong’s future?
Thanks Helene and Patrice Garcin-leveque for discovering this poetic winery Bodega Poesia in Mendoza, Argentina. They brought the elegance from Bordeaux by blending 60% Malbec and 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, the plummy, sweet and ripe fruit of Malbec and the tannic backbone supported by the Cabernet Sauvignon integrated very well !
