[父親節：美國商會FB粉絲專屬優惠] 波爾多紅酒2：Château La Clarière 2023 兩瓶組

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 1967 年 Tony Laithwaite 首次來到 Castillon 工作以來，便一直是這個產區最堅定的支持者。正如《Wine International》所說：「如果不是 Castillon 與 Saint-Émilion 之間那條行政界線，Castillon 的葡萄酒價格至少會高出一倍。因為兩地擁有相同的山坡、相同的土壤，以及相同的日照條件。」1980 年，Tony 收購了 Château La Clarière，並持續證明這個觀點。酒莊多年來榮獲無數金牌與冠軍獎項，更曾兩度獲得巴黎極具聲望的 Lauréat Prix d’Excellence（卓越大獎），展現卓越的釀酒實力。

在釀造工藝上，Château La Clarière 同樣走在產區前端，毫不吝惜成本：採用低產量栽培以提升風味濃縮度、嚴格人工篩選葡萄確保品質，並於頂級全新法國橡木桶中熟成，造就酒款優雅且富有層次的風格。這款酒正是來自 Tony 家族酒莊的經典波爾多紅酒（Claret），展現經典而優雅的年份特色。建議飲用前提早開瓶並醒酒，若耐心窖藏數年，更能展現更加細膩迷人的風味。
