*售完* F231 - Xavier Vignon La Reserve X XII XV

被Robert Parker 評為法國南隆河傳奇的釀酒專家之一，曾擔任多家教堡神級莊的釀酒顧問，客戶名單包括了 Raymond Usseglio、La Nerthe、Marcoux、Gardine、Jerome Quiot、Beaurenard、Mont Redon、Maucoil、Roger Perrin 和Grand Veneur 等等......可以稱得上就算矇住眼🙈都能夠辦認出教皇新堡區各處的風土，佢最出名係挑選唔同地區及葡萄進行混讓，而呢款 La Reserve除了混調不同葡萄，地區葡萄園，還加上了不同年份的特性，假如沒有神級的釀酒手藝，沒有充份了解教堡區，是沒法駕馭這十級難度的佳釀。

📝A non-vintage blend of Xavier’s favorite vintage, the NV Châteauneuf du Pape X XII XV is a massive, thick, unctuous beauty that’s almost overflowing with notes of dark fruits, blackberries, truffle, chocolate and crushed rock. You almost need a fork to drink this baby, but man, what a wine! It stays lively and fresh, with building tannin, a stacked mid-palate and a big finish. It will take 5-7 years for the baby fat to fall away, and it will have two decades of longevity.

Wine Couple之前推薦過 Xavier Cuvee Anonyme ，已斷過幾次貨，飲過的酒友都比👍🏻，如果係Xavier 的Fans就更加唔好錯過佢呢支最頂尖酒款。
