1x Château La Clarière 2023 
Since Tony Laithwaite first worked in Castillon in 1967, he’s been a champion of the region. As Wine International wrote: “If it weren’t for the line dividing Castillon from Saint-Emilion, its wines would be twice the price. The hills are the same, the soil is the same, the exposure is the same.” In 1980 Tony bought Château La Clarière and has been proving this point ever since, winning Golds and Trophies, and twice the coveted Paris’ Lauréat Prix d’Excellence. The team has led the field in innovation too and no expense is spared: low yields for intensity, rigorous sorting for quality, and ageing in the finest new French oak. This is the fine claret from Tony's family estate and a classic, elegant vintage. Open early and decant, or cellar.

自 Tony Laithwaite 於 1967 年首次在 Castillon 工作以來，他便一直是這個產區的堅定支持者。《Wine International》曾如此形容：「如果不是那條將 Castillon 與 Saint-Émilion 分隔開來的界線，這裡的葡萄酒價格恐怕會是現在的兩倍。同樣的山坡、同樣的土壤、同樣的日照條件。」1980 年，Tony 買下 Château La Clarière，此後便不斷以實力證明 Castillon 的優異潛力。酒莊不僅屢獲金牌與獎盃，更曾兩度摘下備受推崇的巴黎 Lauréat Prix d’Excellence 卓越大獎。酒莊團隊同樣走在創新的前端，對品質毫不妥協：透過低產量栽培提升風味濃度、嚴格篩選葡萄確保品質，並使用頂級全新法國橡木桶熟成。這款來自 Tony 家族酒莊的優質波爾多紅酒，展現經典而優雅的年份風格。建議提前開瓶醒酒或醒酒後享用，也非常適合窖藏陳年。

1x Château de Colombe 2023
This exclusive Castillon Côtes de Bordeaux comes from the Laithwaite family’s Château de Colombe in Sainte-Colombe. A rich, medium- to full-bodied blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, it delivers ripe dark plum, licorice and spicy oak notes with impressive concentration and finesse. Previous vintages have won major Gold medals, showcasing the quality of this small-production Bordeaux. Decant for an hour before serving and enjoy with pot roast or flame-grilled steak.

這款獨家 Castillon Côtes de Bordeaux紅酒，來自 Laithwaite 家族位於 Sainte-Colombe 的 Château de Colombe 酒莊。以 梅洛、卡本內蘇維儂與卡本內弗朗 混釀，酒體中等至飽滿，展現成熟黑李、甘草與辛香橡木氣息，風味集中且細緻優雅。過往年份更曾榮獲多項金牌大獎，充分展現這款小量生產波爾多佳釀的出色品質。建議飲用前醒酒約一小時，搭配燉肉或炭烤牛排尤其美味。
