【📝概述】
🇫🇷 我們可在位於法國的 Costières de Nîmes 產區（南羅納河谷，靠近 Camargue）中心找到由 Michel 和他的家人們經營的 Gassier 莊園。 他們的目標是在尊重當地風土條件的同時，為後代提供一個乾淨的葡萄園，也希望後代們可以真正了解當地環境。
釀造和熟成：葡萄來自石灰質的風土和有機種植的老藤，自然產量很低。 在不添加二氧化硫的情況下進行手工採收、篩選和整束葡萄採收 (30%)。 使用天然/野生酵母進行發酵，包括長時間泡皮浸漬（30 天）和手動壓帽，然後在二次木桶（demi-muid, 600 公升）中進行蘋果酸乳酸發酵。 最後，葡萄酒陳釀 24 個月，無需過濾即可裝瓶。
【🍇葡萄品種 & 酒精含量】
50% 慕維得爾 Mourvèdre,
35% 格那希 Grenache,
15% 希哈 Syrah.
15% ABV.
【👀視覺印象】
深紅寶石色。
【👃嗅覺香氣】
明顯的果醬感李子、黑莓、黑櫻桃、黑醋栗、覆盆子、甘草、肉桂、香草、巧克力、煙燻、煙草/雪茄盒和皮革香氣。
【👅味覺品嘗】
與鼻子相似的明顯香氣，帶有果醬感和燉煮過的黑/紅色莓果香、烘焙香料、以及來自橡木的二級香氣（煙熏、香草、巧克力）和一些陳釀後含有的三級香氣（皮革、煙草）。乾式 (Dry)、高酒精度、中等偏高的酸度、中等單寧、酒體飽滿。
香氣複雜（來自不同的葡萄藤）且明顯，高酒精度給味覺帶來溫暖的感覺，但仍然很好地融合在一起；酸度新鮮，單寧絲滑柔軟，整體口感強勁、圓潤，結構非常宜人，並以悠長的苦味及果味收尾。 現在可以直接飲用，也可以在酒窖中保存更長一點。
【🍷簡單結論】
非常美的一款紅酒，它的混釀讓我印象非常深刻，具有果味、爆炸性、煙燻味和強大感。它豐富而圓潤，是一款具有很多個性的葡萄酒，而且是有機的！ 適合與有醬汁的菜餚搭配或可單獨飲用。
【📝Brief intro】
🇫🇷 It’s in the heart of the Costières de Nîmes appellation we find the Gassier estate, led by Michel and his family. Their goal is to offer future generations a clean vineyard and a true understanding of its environment.
Grapes come from calcareous terroirs and old vines grown organically with low natural yields. Harvest was carried out manually with sorting and incorporation of whole bunches (30%) without the addition of SO2. Fermentation was done with native/wild yeasts including a long maceration (30 days) and manual punching down followed by malolactic fermentation in half-muids of one wine. The wine was aged for 24 months and bottled without filtration.
【🍇Grapes & ABV】
50% Mourvèdre, 35% Grenache, 15% Syrah.
15% ABV.
【👀To the eye】
Deep ruby.
【👃Nose】
Pronounced aromas of jammy plum, blackberry, black cherry, cassis, raspberry, licorice, cinnamon, vanilla, chocolate, smoke, tobacco/cigar box and leather.
【👅Palate】
Pronounced aromas similar to the nose, with jammy and stewed black and red fruits, baking spices, secondary aromas from oak (smoke, vanilla, chocolate), and some tertiary aromas from aging (leather, tobacco). Dry, medium+ acidity, high alcohol, medium tannins, full body.
Aromas are complex and pronounced, alcohol is high bringing a warm feeling to the palate but still well-integrated, acidity brings freshness, tannins are silky and soft, the overall mouthfeel is powerful, round, with a very pleasant structure, and ends in a long bitter/fruity finish. Can be drunk now or kept in cellar longer.
【🍷 Conclusion】
Just gorgeous, I’m very impressed by this blend, its fruity, explosive, smoky and powerful, it’s rich and round, a wine with a lot of personality and it’s organic! To be paired with the dish in sauce or drunk on its own.
