Bergerie de l'Hortus White 2022

『2014年Bergerie Blanc也可當她是一支小教皇新堡白酒配搭，波蘿和桃香，果味豐厚，酸度也不太高，易入口，搭配中菜也非常方便，兩小時後，香氣轉為洋甘菊和薄荷等，清爽度提高，很有驚喜！與剛開始的菠蘿香有很大的對比，可看出隨時間不同葡萄的轉變。同事説配燒豬肋骨或港式小炒也應該好適合，下次吃飯可不用一味用“正印”品種，搵支Rousanne更獨特！』

『2017年Bergerie Blanc開始像害羞的少女，酸度緊密，入口有源源不絕的礦石感，醒酒45分鐘後香氣更集中，有花蜜，奶油糖，西柚，桃等香氣。整體而言，14年絕對更啱飲，17現時還需要點時間來讓她結構成長。』

這是Domaine de L'Hortus的年輕葡萄園，原生葡萄品種得以展現其獨特的個性。特別是Bourboulenc（源自普羅旺斯Vaucluse的老品種），顯示中等香氣濃度和微熏過的柑橘香，以及Roussanne如馬鞭草茶般的芬芳香氣，白花和温和的酸度可供陳年。

Bergerie系列有紅酒、粉紅酒和白酒。紅葡萄於山麓下，而白葡萄則於山谷底，不像於山坡上生長的葡萄暴露太多於自然環境下。總括來說，這些葡萄都較Domaine de l ’Hortus系列晚熟，令葡萄擁有平衡的酸度和香氣。

This is a wonderful blend sourced from young vineyards of Domaine de L'Hortus, including indigenous grapes to show its unique characters. Especially Bourboulenc (Old variety originated from Vaucluse (Provence), show citrus with medium aroma intensity and hints of smoke and Roussanne, aromatic, herbal tea, spring blossom and beautiful acidity for medium term cellaring.

Domaine de L'Hortus wines are from the great Terroir of Pic St Loup. This Bergerie range comes in three colours : red, rosé and white. The red grapes grow in land parcels low in the foothills, whilst the whites grow at the bottom of the valley. In both cases the plants are less exposed to the elements than those that grow on the higher slopes. Overall, the grapes mature later than those destined for the Domaine de l’ Hortus range. t’s a combination of soil type and climate that results in the grapes ripening very late. But it also results in the wine’s excellent balance between acidity and aromatic complexity.
