這酒的感覺頗新的，沒有老酒的感覺。酒的強度不錯，亦有一定複雜性，餘韻合格，但比想像中短。這酒不像一些大品牌的X O，少了成熟感，多了些花果味，是另一種表現。

2017 Vosne Romanee 1er Cru Aux Brulees, Domaine Gerard Mugneret

也許是年份問題吧，酒的單寧有點青。不過香氣很好，強烈濃厚，亦很複雜。餘韻亦長，只是酒在口中的味道不及香氣那樣出色。整體來說表現不錯，相信在一個好些的年份，這酒會有上佳表現。似乎我又要出去搵下⋯⋯

2014 Vosne Romanee 1er Cru Gaudichots, Domaine Forey Pere & Fils

A deep ruby dry red burgundy with pronounced noses of rose perfume, red plum, dried strawberry, anise, cedar and touch of dust.

(910 Good complexity but fading quick in palate, need better length too.

第一下印象係複雜性好，但係酒在口中的強度不足。年份可能亦有影響，單寧有些枝梗味。酒的香氣比酒味出色，餘韻合格有餘，不錯，但相信有進步空間，看看好年的如何，才可更準確評估酒莊功力。

 

2017 Chambolle Musigny Les Charmes 1er Cru, Domaine Gerard Mugneret

Deep intensity ruby colour with quite intense noses of rose, dried strawberries, candied redcurrant, cabbage and licorice, it is dry with medium acidity, alcohol and bodied.

Longer than medium length with red plum finish. (91) Good intensity and nose, some typicity as well.

 

Tasted on 4 October 2024

酒的力度算強勁，香氣亦很好，只是以這條村來說是重了一點。酒的口味反而更符合這條村的感覺，但強度不及香氣，餘韻亦合格以上，難得的是這支酒的丹寧出奇的成熟柔順，不像2017年的酒，整體來說是一支好喝的酒品

2019 Nicolas Maillart Les Courzy Premier Cru Extra Brut

Medium intensity lemon green coloured with intense aromas of bread, lemon, honey, candied apple and touch of limestone. It has medium acidity and alcohol, full bodied and creamy mousse. On palate it gives quite intense flavours of lemon, honey, floral, mineral and limestone. Fairly long length with honey lemon finish. (92) Balance in flavours, interesting.

Tasted on 31 May 2024

如果用一碟食物嚟講就簡直是一個小炒王。酒的各種味道十分平衡，是每一種味道都是一樣強度的那種平衡，很有趣的一支香檳。酒的力度很強，以複雜性來說都是中上，但不是很複雜，餘𩐳亦不錯，好喝，亦幾特別⋯⋯

2013 Nuits Saint Georges Les Boudots 1er Cru, Domaine Gerard Mugneret

Deep intensity ruby coloured dry red wine with pronounced aromas of rose, black plum, earth, cedar, ripe black cherry and spices box. Medium acidity and alcohol, full bodied with medium fine grained tannin but a touch of greenness is detected.

(92) Concentrated and bold, quite heavy on palate.
 

Tasted on 26 April 2024

給人一種濃厚有份量，但係亦充滿複雜性的葡萄酒。酒的味道結構偏向濃及重，而且酒的濃度很強，因此這酒俾人的感覺很濃郁，這種厚重感一直維持到入口及餘韻，所以很易令人覺得重口味。可能是年份問題單寧有一點點青澀，除此之外對喜愛這種風格的人來說會很喜歡。

2017 Chassagne Montrachet Les Chaumees, 1er Cru, Domaine Michel Niellon

Medium lemon green colour with quite intense noses of lemon, grass, pear, vanilla, honey and touch of almond. Medium acidity, alcohol and bodied with over medium intensity flavours of lemon, pear, mineral and touch of vanilla. Medium length with lemon finish. (90) Palatable and delicious.

 

Tasted on 10 December 2023

清爽簡單的布艮地白酒，香氣頗強，亦有一定複雜性，酒味在口中仍然保持着水準，餘韻亦合格，不錯的餐酒，亦有一點田土的特色，幾好

2019 Meursault 1er Cru Sous Le Dos D'Ane, Domaine Leflaive

Medium lemon green in colour. On nose it has quite intense aromas of lime, amber, vanilla, mineral and white flower, touch of gooseberry too. Nice and bit elegant.

(91)
 

Tasted on 23 July 2023

以梅索村來說，這支的感覺比較輕身，但近年這村的酒，不論那一個酒莊，也好像做得比以前的輕身。酒的香味複雜優雅，亦有一定的強度。值得一讚。只是酒在口中的強度及複雜性有點下降，餘韻亦然，像是有頭冇尾的。算好喝，佐餐不錯。

2015 Meursault 1er Cru Genevrieres, Domaine Lucien Le Moine

A medium lemon green coloured dry white wine with close to pronounced level aromas of cream, lemon, honey, amber, sawdust and apricot. Medium acidity and alcohol, full bodied with over medium flavour intensity. The flavours contain lemon, cream, butter and mineral. Medium length with lemon apricot finish. (90) Needs better length
 

Tasted on 18 May 2023

酒香比酒味出色的一支酒，餘韻比想像中短。這支梅索有其特有的牛油忌廉味，值得一讚。其他只是一支有合理強度、合理複雜性的布根地白酒。

2015 Volnay 1er Cru Taillepieds, Domaine Nicolas Rossignol

Quite intense ruby coloured dry red wine with intense noses of rose, cabbage, mushroom, cedar, pine, red cherry and plum. Medium acidity, alcohol and bodied with medium ripe and fine grained tannin. The flavour intensity is over medium with flavours of red cherry, dried rose, licorice and damped earth. Longer then medium length with red cherry finish. (91) good intensity.

Tasted on 18 May 2023

成熟、表現直率的一支布根地，如果有checklist 的話，這支酒應該全部都有個剔號。這酒有齊一個好年份的布根地紅酒應該有的表現，而且酒力強度也不弱，亦有一定複雜性，當然也不至於複雜到令人沉思。是中上的酒品，好喝

2013 Puligny Montrachet 1er Cru Les Pucelles, Domaine Leflaive

Medium lemon green coloured with pronounced noses of lemon, honey, resin, peach, white flower, sandalwood and touch of toasted almond, very complex.

Fairly long length with honey lemon finish. (93) Good nose, rich and balance, long to go

Tasted on 14 May 2023

香氣真係冇得頂，又強又複雜，淨係揸住個杯聞都已經很開心。酸度醒神而感覺柔和，口感豐富，餘韻長。酒在口中的複雜性減少了一些，但仍然有齊全的酒味感覺，現在看似乎還是早喝了一點，相信還可放多一段頗長的時間。

2013 Vosne Romanee 1er Cru Les Reignots, Domaine Audiffred

A deep ruby wine with quite intense noses of rose perfume, black plum, forest floor, cedar and touch of mint leaf. Dry with medium acidity, medium alcohol and bodied with medium tannin, a touch of greenness though.

(92) Should be a wonderful wine in good vintage.

 

Tasted on 26 March 2023

試過這酒莊的很多產品，但這支是會令人回味的。酒的複雜性很好，香氣很強勁，酒味在口中轉為清純了，餘韻合格有餘，可能是年份的關係，單寧有一點點的青澀，相信在好年份的話這會是一支很精彩的作品

(93) Good dried fruit but a bit aggressive on palate.
 

Tasted on 10 October 2022

乾果味很好。酒的力量很強，是一枝很有強勁力度的酒，酒精不算很嗆，但不可以用醇來形容。餘韻長長的，好喝。由於其乾果味出色，大香檳區的感覺少了點，亦令人覺得厚重了點，但其香甜感是令人歡喜的。

2016 Vosne Romanee 1er Cru Les Malconsorts, Domaine Francois Lamarche

Tasted on 29 August 2022

這酒莊2010年左右轉人之後造得好咗，而且D酒仲似乎可以早飲D，這酒有著高水平的質量，估唔到的是只是有年已很啱飲。酒的果香及香料味均衡，只是在口中的複雜性不及香氣。酒的柔滑度也是有點驚喜的，好喝。

2016 Vosne Romanee 1er Cru La Croix Rameau, Domaine J. Cacheux

Deep ruby coloured with quite intense noses of red plum, rose, earth, mushroom, anise and touch of menthol and sandalwood spice, it has medium acidity, alcohol and quite full bodied.

(92) Elegant but seems a bit over extracted.

 

Tasted on 13 June 2022

好VR的一枝酒。香氣吸引，比入口好，結構有點硬硬的。酒的強度及複雜性合格有餘，亦有一定的餘韻。幾好喝，只是收尾感覺到有很輕微的苦澀，扣了些分。

2018 Savigny-les-Beaune Aux Gravains 1er Cru, Domaine Gerard Mugneret

Beauty.

 

Tasted on 22 April 2022

香氣強度也是不及播干強，但複雜性更佳，而且有一定深度，值得一讚。酒在保存清晰果感之餘，亦有一定層次的香料感，木桶的用法不錯，餘韻亦長，好飲，亦顯示出釀酒師的一定功力和釀造方向。現在喝需要多一些時間透氣，但陳年一下更好，很期待它其他的酒款。

2013 Chambolle Musigny 1er Cru Les Charmes, Domaine Laurent Roumier

Deep ruby colour with quite intense noses of rose pedal, red berry, plum, strawberry, cedar and trace of anise and smoke.

Tasted on 1 January 2022

輕巧陰柔，香氣強但給人一種陰柔感，很好的風格表現。香料及果味的平衡好。以這年份來說單寧也很不錯。酒味在口中不及香氣那麼吸引，餘韻亦合格有餘，幾好喝，很有園野風味的酒。

2008 Nuits Saint Georges 1er Cru Aux Murgers, Domaine Sylvain Cathiard

A deep ruby coloured dry red wine with medium intensity aromas of red plum, rose perfume, strawberry, earth and touch of mushroom. Medium acidity, alcohol and bodied with medium fine grained tannin.

Tasted on 18 November 2021

優雅得來又不太濃烈的香氣，花果香料味的平衡，真的令人置身大自然的感覺，這酒的餘韻比較令我驚喜，酒力不算很強勁但有著比想像中長的餘韻，口感亦不重，好味。

2006 Vosne-Romanee 1er Aux Reignots, Domaine du Comte Liger-Belair

Deep ruby coloured with quite intense noses of rose jam, red plum, red berry jam, smoke, clove, earth, vanilla and cinnamon type spices. Medium acidity and alcohol, quite full bodied with smooth tannin. On palates it has quite intense flavours of rose jam, red plum jam, red berry, mushroom and licorice. Fairly long length with rose finish. (92)


Tasted on 18 October 2019

仍然是一貫醬果的味道和感覺，這枝酒的香料味很出色，像是一個香料架一樣。酒力強餘韻長，好酒一枝。這個莊的造法雖然大大増加了酒吸引大眾的能力，但減少了酒的田土獨特感覺，真係有點難取捨。

2009 Vosne Romanee 1er Aux Malconsorts, Maison Roche de Bellene

Deep ruby coloured with quite intense noses of black plum, smoke, mint, toasted spice, dried rose and vanilla.

Tasted on 2 August 2019

有一點深度，主要來自發展出來的香料味，幽香感很不錯，酒體醇厚，單寧成熟，中上的酒力和複雜性，餘韻亦算長，佐餐或剩飲都非常好 ，讚。
