M. CHAPOUTIER Ermitage White Le Méal 2006 ★★★★★

酒名：M. CHAPOUTIER Ermitage White Le Méal 2006

產地：法國北隆河艾米塔吉

品種：Marsanne 瑪姍

購於：長榮桂冠酒坊

開瓶：2013-08-22於台中自宅

評分：WS 97 / RP 99

視覺：清澈，中金色

嗅覺：純淨，濃郁的鳳梨，芒果，蜂蜜，礦物，花香與蘋果乾氣味，陳年中。

味覺：不甜，中下酸性，中上酒精濃度與豐富酒體。有中上的鳳梨乾，香草，檜木，蘑菇，礦物，蜂蜜與白胡椒口味。長餘韻。

結論：★★★★★酒窖保養時發現架子上有淡紅色的滲漏痕跡，找了許久一直找不到漏酒的嫌疑犯，最後才發現是這瓶瓶口有封蠟的白酒。開瓶時原以為酒已變質，但意外地封蠟似乎仍完好地保存酒的風味，讓它仍為我所品嚐過的最好白酒之一。已可試飲，我還有另外2瓶還要好好地續貯存。
