Dulon家族是具有250年歷史的葡萄釀酒世家，當時家族第一代Jean Dulon建立酒莊的時候，只有區區12公頃。時至今日，Michel dulon先生將酒莊面積擴大到140公頃。Dulon家族辦公室坐落於波爾多兩河之間( entre deux mers )區域。Dulon夫婦擁有4間酒莊，其中一間正是今日的主角 Chateau Haut-Pezat，坐落在波爾多右岸Saint-Emilion產區。Dulon憑藉著多年傳統工藝，再加上酒莊的現代化設備，令近年酒質提升不少。2015年份更在多個酒評媒體獲得90分以上高分。

葡萄採收後，會先經過冷浸，目的是要能提取葡萄香氣。及後會被導入溫控不锈鋼桶發酵25-30日。發酵後會進行Malolactic Fermentation (MLF) 以令酒體更圓渾。最後會在法國橡木桶陳熟12個月以增加複雜度才裝瓶出售。

實試報告:

深寶石紅色，帶著明顯的黑加侖子、車厘子、黑布李的水果香氣，稍微醒酒之後，玫瑰和紫羅蘭花香散發出來，同時伴隨著肉桂、香草等香料氣息。整款酒相當濃郁、飽滿，單寧細膩順滑，帶著輕盈的酸度。餘韻口中回味著水果和黑巧克力的香氣。

Perfumed aromas of fresh flowers and dark fruits. Some citrus peel. Full-bodied, tight and focused with pretty fruits and a crisp, clean finish. Needs two or three years to soften but already very pretty.

The 2015 Haut-Pezat, matured in one-third new oak, has a wonderful fresh and lively bouquet with black cherries, raspberry and vanilla scents, rose petals and violet following after. The palate is very well balanced with succulent tannin, crisp acidity, very caressing in the mouth with a hint of dark chocolate towards the finish. Superb. Tasted at the Oenoconseil tasting room in Bordeaux.

Richly endowed with spice and wood-aging flavors, this is a firm and toasty wine. In many years, the wood would have been too much, but not in this vintage. The black fruit weight will balance with the wood as it ages to give an elegant.
