Bad Boy 2016

RM176.00

The 2016 Bad Boy (aka naughty Jean-Luc Thunevin) is a blend 5% Cabernet Sauvignon and the remainder Merlot. It has a fragrant, quite floral bouquet this year with scents of black cherries, incense, and a touch of vanilla pod. The palate is medium-bodied with firm tannin, fresh in the mouth with a citrus line of acidity, slightly granular in texture towards the finish that has good, Médoc-like structure.

Château Valandraud’s garagiste owner, Jean-Luc Thunevin is best know for his stunning Saint-Émilion-Château Valandraud, as well as his successful career as a Bordeaux negociant. Produced from a careful selection of vines from the Right bank, from properties managed or advised by J.L.Thunevin, the BAD BOY is an original cuvée created in 2000. The grapes are harvested and vinified under the constant and careful watch of his team in order to bottle one of the best Bordeaux reds. The idea of calling this cuvée “Bad Boy” (or Mauvais Garçon ) came from Robert Parker’s nickname for Jean-Luc Thunevin as the American critic regularly called “Bordeaux’s black sheep” or “Saint Émilion’s Bad Boy”.

此葡萄酒名为‘BadBoy’ 是以创新精神的‘车库酒教父‘Jean-Luc Thunevin 所酿造。
(法国波尔多地区极具传奇色彩和影响力的酿酒大师)
白手起家,曾是银行职员,没接受过正规的酿酒学校教育,
1989年买下0.6公顷的葡萄园,1991 年酿出仅 1500 瓶的葡萄酒。
因为当时没有资金,所以在自家的车库中以有限的人力酿制及装瓶。
他凭借着罕见的酿酒天分,以及对葡萄酒的强烈爱好和对品质的不懈追求,
二年后酿出了被世界著名的评酒家 Robert Parker 评为 “波尔多最高评分”
的瓦兰德侯酒庄 (Château Valandrau) 葡萄酒,使其一举成名!

‘BadBoy’这个名称是Robert Parker戏称Jean-Luc Thunevin时而来。
他混合了波尔多不同村庄的Merlot。(Pomerol,Fronsac,Saint-Emilion)
精选的Merlot和用百分百法国新橡木桶酿造,是一款新的AOC Bordeaux
为了追求更多的细腻柔顺,并加入5%的Cabernet Franc,让口感含有更多的复杂性。

品酒心得
深紫紅酒色,帶著可可、黑醋栗、李子和玫瑰花香。入口帶話梅及桑莓氣息。
一小時後多了皮革、石墨、烤肉香味,層次複雜,也同時多了點炭燒咖啡☕的味道,
後段帶著點點甜辣。集中的單寧和超強的濃縮感,加上平衡的酸度及悠長餘韻。
