陆壹酒庄携佳酿首次登陆新加坡

2019年6月29日,陆壹酒庄首次离开它的祖国,来到新加坡,举办了它的首场海外酒庄晚宴。

新加坡成为了陆壹酒庄的首个进口国。

为庆祝这一历史性的时刻,2019年6月29日,一场精致的宁夏葡萄酒晚宴如期举行。这是陆壹酒庄首次在中国之外的国家举办这样的酒庄晚宴。

陆壹酒庄庄主,卢梦溪女士,真诚、生动的陈词给在场的每一位来宾留下深刻印象。

陆壹酒庄庄主,卢梦溪女士,为这场庆祝晚宴,专程从上海飞到了新加坡。这也是她第一次访问新加披。

她不仅会说流利的英语,也能用法语交流(她在法国第戎勃艮第商学院取得国际葡萄酒与烈酒管理学的硕士学位),卢女士以她真诚、生动的讲述,吸引了在场每一位来宾的聆听。

陆壹酒庄这个名字的出处,正是她儿子的生日,Domaine du 1er Juin的法语直译,即6月1日酒庄。她的先生,梅宁博,是一位知名葡萄酒作家,更是一位勃艮第葡萄酒专家,他现在正在撰写一本专门介绍法国勃艮第产区的书。梅先生也是The Chinese Circle的成员。The Chinese Circle由一些葡萄酒作家、记者朋友组成,他们自2018年开始,定期参与波尔多En Primeurs期酒,和其他一些波尔多主题品鉴活动。

品鉴笔记

陆壹酒庄2017雷司令干白

The vines were first planted in 2010. Because of the poor soil, grapes only appeared in 2015. Domaine du 1er Juin did not pick them. The following year – 2016 – the grapes were harvested and fermented. The domaine did not consider the wine to be up to the standard they wanted and the bottles were not offered for sale. This 2017 is, therefore, the first commercial vintage. Minerally, citrus zesty, Granny Smith apples, with a hint of honey on the middle palate. Good intensity and persistence of fruit. Full of vitality, energy and freshness.

陆壹酒庄2016黑皮诺干红

The structure is very evident when you taste this 3-year old. Still quite taut, this is the most intense Chinese pinot I have come across. Compact blue fruit – with a hint of raspberries – competes with firm, rich tannins particularly from the stems. Lots of freshness. Too young to approach at the moment. A good window of opportunity would be between 2021 and 2023. And beyond.

陆壹酒庄2015梅洛干红

Smoky blueberry fruit that is full of lift. The tannins are ripe and with richness.  Medium-plus-ish bodied. The vines were planted in 2007 and 2008. Domaine du 1er Juin waited eight years before making this their first vintage. Enjoyable now but will continue to evolve and improve to 2030.

陆壹酒庄2015橡木桶珍藏赤霞珠干红

As the domaine name suggests Domaine du 1er Juin only produces wines from grapes that it grows. Much sought-after, their small production is hard to come by but are found in some Ritz-Carlton, Hyatt, and Shangri-La properties in China. Like the Merlot, the vines were planted in 2007 and 2008 and this, too, is the first vintage. Very Left Bank Médoc-like. Ripe capsicum/blueberry fruit with rich tannins. The balance between fruit, structure and freshness is expertly struck. Decant 30 to 45 minutes. Now to 2035. The allocation to Singapore was 6 bottles. All were snapped up at the dinner and had to be allocated a bottle each to six participants.
