Epenots葡萄園含鐵質豐富的卵石和泥灰岩土質,深根固柢,面向東南的陽光,令酒體更豐腴,單寧結構更複雜。是接觸Pascal Marchand穩健紮實風格的經典款色!

曾在著名酒莊Domaine Comte Armand和Bruno Clair工作,本身是加拿大法國人的Pascal Marchand在1983年隻身由蒙特利爾去到布根地開始他的釀酒生涯,當時只有21歲的他跑去Beaune唸了一年葡萄種植和釀造學,其間深受啟蒙老 師Henry Jayer和Michel Lafarge啟發。之後在Bruno Clair工作便與Domaine Comte Armand結下了不解之緣,其後酒莊更大膽地讓當時年輕的Pascal擔任酒莊總管,只有Comte Armand酒莊自己才知道他有什麼本事可一力承擔整個酒莊的出品,但結果卻沒有令人失望。Pascal大大提高了當時交給他管理5.3公頃的 Pommard Premier Cru葡萄園Clos des Epeneaux的質素,更將酒窖大大整理一番,把不達標準的舊木桶換掉,並重新訂立政策管理葡萄園。

他當年一直致力研究除草劑和殺菌劑對葡萄樹的影響,酒園只作人手除草,並棄用一切會滲透進樹液內的有害的殺菌劑。自1996年開始用當時尚新的Biodynamic的方法耕種並成功在1999令Comte Armand成為全Biodynamic酒園。 到現時為止,他擔當新舊世界多個酒莊的顧問,多年來他醉心於研究和釀造來自多幅頂級布根地Grand Cru和Premier Cru葡萄園的出品,在2006年開始推出自己Pascal Marchand的布根地系列。他的Pommard Clos des Epeneaux 96獲Wine Spectator選為世界100最佳葡萄酒,Michel Bettane認為那是全世界Pinot Noir葡萄酒的參考。

品酒筆記:
這是一支十分有個性,以花香為主,加上純淨紅莓及和暖泥土氣息的酒。單寧雖然成熟和厚身,也幫助淡化有嚼勁和包圍口腔的味道,收結平衡和持久。在造酒的任何一部分,都曾付出很有質素的努力,深沉的餘韻代表此酒有足夠陳年能力。

Tasting note: 
This is even more characterized by floral nuances that add elegance to the otherwise impressively pure red berry fruit and warm earth aromas. There is a pleasantly refined feel to the ripe and dense tannins that impart a dusty and slightly chewy palate impression on the intense, delicious and mouth coating finish that delivers appealing length and balance. A quality effort in every respect.
