Domaine Guillaume GILLES 2012 - 2013 - 科爾納斯 - 2 Bottle (0.75L)

Cornas La Combe de Chaillot Guillaume Gilles (Domaine) 2012 - 2013

Humilité. 一个美丽的词语，用来定义 Guillaume Gilles，尽管他被视为北罗纳河谷新星。这位年轻的酿酒师曾在区域内的名家如 Jean-Louis Chave 和 Robert Michel 手下学习。2002 年，他的个人酿酒之路从在 Cornas 登记半公顷的地产开始，这是他从祖父那里继承的。对这片风土的真正热爱让他在葡萄园和酒窖里花费大量时间，以酿出被人们欣赏的深度、力量与细腻感。他的标志？微区段酿造。事实上，即使在 Chaillots 风土内，他也把 3 个葡萄酒分开酿造：la combe、les terrasses 和 les grands murs。栽培方式讲求理性，葡萄树的劳动全部手工，土壤也进行了耕作。一个值得尽快发现的酒庄，尤其是其产量相当有限。

关于该酒款

位于“Chaillot”地块的山脚下，Combe de Chaillot 遍布于 0.8 公顷，自 2009 年起便单独酿造，因为雌花与野葡萄的成熟度不同。葡萄生长在以粘质、砂质和花岗岩为主的土壤上。采收后几乎完全去梗，酒醅在开放式碗槽中以原生酵母进行发酵，不进行压踩。随后在桶中陈放 16 个月，灌装前不进行混浊或过滤。在品鉴时，这款 Cornas 更显矿物质感和张力。这部分要归功于其产出的风土，气候比庄园其他地块更凉爽。鼻腔感受依然丰富而饱满，真实呈现黑色水果的芳香、花香与香料气息。口感上，单宁细腻，受黑色水果主导的风味包覆。尾韵长久，以微妙的辛香回味收尾，优美收官。

Humility. A beautiful word that defines Guillaume Gilles yet considered a rising star of the Northern Rhone Valley. This young winemaker started with great regional names such as Jean-Louis Chave and Robert Michel. In 2002, his personal wine adventure began with the acquisition of half a hectare in the Cornas appellation that he inherited from his grandfather. Truly passionate about this terroir, he spends a lot of time in his vineyards and in his cellar to make wines appreciated for their depth, power and finesse. His trademark? Micro-parcel vinification. Indeed, even within the terroir Les Chaillots, he vinifies 3 vintages separately: the combe, the terraces and the large walls. The cultivation is reasoned, the work of the vine is done manually and the soil is plowed. An area to be discovered quickly, especially since the number of bottles produced is quite confidential.

About the vintage

Located at the foot of the "Chaillot" plot, the Combe de Chaillot is spread over 0.8 ha and has been vinified separately since 2009 due to a different maturity from the syrah berries. These mature on silty, sandy and granite soils. After the manual harvest, the grapes are degreated almost entirely. Vinification is done in an open tank with native yeasts, without pigeage. The wine is then aged for 16 months in barrels, without gluing or filtration before bottling. At the tasting, this cornas turns out to be more mineral and more tense. This is due, among other things, to the terroir from which it comes, which benefits from a cooler climate than the other plots of the estate. The nose remains nevertheless rich and dense. It is a real bouquet of black fruits, with floral and spicy notes. In the mouth, the tannins are fine and coated with black fruit dominance. The finale is long and ends in beauty with small peppery touches.
