Wine Tasting @ Major Cellar TST

朋友做 Major Cellar , 咁好又有 free wine tasting 同時又係我 day off , 當然要試下

From Major Cellar:
Domaine d’Eugenie

Domaine d’Eugenie 位於 Vosne Romanee，它一直被視為 Burgundy的頂尖的產酒名村，以複雜、優雅與較深沉的黑皮諾著名。自 2006 年 Chateau Latour莊主Francois Pinault 買下勃根地 Rene Engel酒廠，他為了紀念母親將其重酒莊從新命名為 Domaine d’Eugenie，現在酒莊由Chateau Latour總經理 Frederic Engerer直接管理，釀酒師則是Michel Mallard。

Domaine d’Eugenie 擁有約6公頃的葡萄，主要是Vosne Romaee、Vougoet及Flagey-Echezeaux等三個村莊。酒廠不使用任何化學除草劑，同時依據每個年份適當的除芽、除葉及除果以有效控制合理產量。村莊級採用40% 新桶陳釀最少12個月，一級園和特級園葡萄酒則分別採用 50% 和 70 % 新桶陳釀最少 15個月。

2012 Domaine d’Eugenie Vosne Romanee
30-50年的葡萄藤，單寧細緻，口感非常順滑甜美，是一款非常討好的葡萄酒。

2011 Domaine d’Eugenie Clos d’Eugenie
僅有 0.57 公頃的葡萄園，位於 La Tache 的正下方，2009年是第一個年份。香氣非常迷人，細緻，豐富，酒體優雅。





Personal Comment:
2012 Domaine d’Eugenie Vosne Romanee 好飲d, 好直接, 好快比到你

2011 Domaine d’Eugenie Clos d’Eugenie 反而要長時間先可以了解到, 比較subtle d
