這款葡萄酒的葡萄來自Lingua Franca Estate和周邊優秀葡萄園,包括Hope Well和South Salem Hills到Yamhill-Carlton,反映了該地區的特色。葡萄手工採摘、篩選和去梗,然後以桶為單位放入中型和大型的不鏽鋼和水泥發酵罐中,並使用野生酵母進行自然發酵。其中10%的葡萄未去梗,以整串放入密封罐中。葡萄酒在27%的新和73%的老法國橡木桶中陳釀12個月,並在裝瓶前在罐中進行最終的混合。
Château Lafite Rothschild is a wine estate in the Pauillac region of the Médoc, producing one of the most sought-after and expensive red wines in the world. Lafite Rothschild is known for its perfume, elegance, finesse and harmony, in contrast to the more powerful Latour and Mouton Rothschild. Nevertheless, great vintages can age for 50 years or more.
The estate began to earn its reputation as a winemaking property in the late 1600s; by the second half of the following century it was known as “The King’s Wine” at Versailles, and had a strong following in London. The acclaim did not diminish and in the 1855 Bordeaux Classification Lafite was ranked a first growth. It was bought by Baron James de Rothschild in 1868. Throughout much of the 20th Century, despite many sublime wines, Lafite Rothschild was regarded as an inconsistent producer but since the mid-1990s it has become more reliable – in fact, it regularly makes claims for wine of the vintage.
羅曼尼康帝酒莊(DRC)最早採收的葡萄來自於歌頓園(Corton),由歌頓園之王(Clos du Roy)、布瑞桑德園(Les Bressandes)和勒納德園(Les Renardes)三個園區的葡萄混釀而成。這款酒展現了歌頓產區嚴謹而聚焦的一面,兼具平衡與細緻。香氣以純淨的黑莓果香為主,伴隨著些許甘草和橡木的微妙香氣。口感上,中段的果味濃郁而精緻,結構強勁,酸度平衡。是一款非常平衡的酒款,擁有細膩的清新感和鮮活的活力。評分:極佳(95-96分)
The Corton was the first to be havested at DRC – it comes from a blend of Corton Clos du Roy, Les Bressandes and Les Renardes This is a wine offering a focused and quite serious side of the Corton appelation – with plenty of balance and refinement. The nose offer primarily dark berry fruit – very pure with some licorice notes and a quite discrete impression of oak. On the palate quite intense mid-palate fruit – powerful yet refined – with plenty of structure and with a lovely balancing acidity. A very balanced effort with a fine delicate freshness and a vivid energy. Outstanding (95 – 96p)
