Domaine du Pegau 神之水滴 @ Les Celebrites

近月要做三陪小姐，走出走入，忙得不亦樂乎！

酒宴一浪接一浪，吃得欲罷不能！

早前見一酒行舉辦“神水”酒宴， Wine List & Menu 甚吸引，價錢也算合理，便相約數位朋友前往探個究竟。與一好友見面，她說我面青青，少了點神采！My dear，放心吧，遲些抽空做個靚靚 facial，閉關叉電一日便沒事啦！

說回酒宴，小女子自問品酒資力尚淺，未能全程感受到那種深奧的神水境界。但說實話，這個酒宴是近月來最滿足的一個。整晚感受一流，溫馨、甜美 … 教我暫忘那煩擾事務！

Vin de Pays d’ Oc “PEGOVINO” 2006

先來一杯紅酒作餐前醒胃酒。

個人頗喜歡這支大眾化的 Pegovino 2006。整體結構、力度、香味、平衡性都表現不俗，算是物有所值。

Châteauneuf-du-Pape “CUVÉE RÉSERVÉE” Blanc 2007

晚宴由一支很討好的白酒開始。

初試時因太凍，支酒唔開，只有花及梨子微香，回溫後，花香、蜜香、水果香甜的氣味幽幽的連綿不絕！入口平衡細緻，豐盈馥郁，餘韻柔滑悠長，具陳年潛力。

Châteauneuf-du-Pape “CUVÉE RÉSERVÉE” 2005

這支Cuvee Reservee 2005 over-breath，有點兒可惜！

Châteauneuf-du-Pape “CUVÉE LAURENCE” 2004

一支很吸引的葡萄酒，令到腦袋充滿著甜甜的果醬味！

Châteauneuf-du-Pape “CUVÉE DA CAPO” 2003

當晚各人都把焦點放在這支 Da Capo 2003 (RP 100)。

神之水滴第三門徒 是這支酒的2000年份，從100年的老樹所生產。

“徐徐下沉的美麗夕陽，那微微的赤紅，把天空染成像塗在畫布上的油彩。令人心動的鄉愁，從這葡萄酒深深的果實味裡湧出來。

非常溫柔，但豐滿的單寧 …

一層一層地重疊著的芳香和成熟的黑醋栗、咖啡甜香酒、苦朱古力、黑胡椒、東洋香料，再也數不清的複雜元素逐漸湧現，像翻開書架上的相簿那樣 … 又香又甜，這種令人懷念的溫暖 … 令人安心的甜味 … 彷彿包容一切的溫暖和溫柔 …

無論走到那裡，都感受到這種被溫暖餘溫包圍著的甜味。 ”

Vin de Pays d’ Oc < PEGOVINO>

50% Grenache, 50% Syrah

Pegovino is project runned by Laurence Féraud with a syndicate of growers to produce a “bistrot wine ”*, charming and generous.

Châteauneuf-du-Pape White < CUVÉE RÉSERVÉE>

60% Grenache Blanc, 20% Clairette, 10% Roussanne, 10% Bourboulenc

There is only 1 hectare dedicated to the production of white Châteauneuf-du-Pape giving birth to approximately 2,000 bottles per vintage after a short maturing of 3-6 months in stainless steel vats. Its appealing complexity of melon, peach and minerals shall be enjoyed over the next 3 years.
