普羅旺斯出名風景明媚，在這地中海的陽光氣息和溫暖乾燥的天氣下，大家可以盡情享受清新的玫瑰紅酒。如果你是玫瑰紅酒的愛好者，你一定要留意普羅旺斯這世界領先的玫瑰紅酒產區。這區內栽培了豐富而且多姿多彩的葡萄品種。玫瑰紅酒和紅酒常用的紅葡萄包括︰格納殊 (Grenache)、施赫 (Syrah)、慕維迪 (Mourvèdre)、仙梭 (Cinsault)、提布康 (Tibouren)和卡希翁(Carignan) ；而白葡萄則包括：浩尼 (Rolle)、卡麗 (Clairette)和戶於尼(Ugni Blanc)。
Provence’s beauty lies in its famous… landscapes, it’s here where you can enjoy the sunny, warm and dry Mediterranean climate with a glass of fresh Rosé wine. If you are a fan of Rosé, you have to take a look at Provence as it’s the world leading rosé producing region. Provence grape varieties are rich and numerous and the common ones are Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre, Cinsault, Tibouren and Carignan for Rosé and Red Wines; Rolle, Clairette, Ugni-Blanc for White Wines.
普羅旺斯的葡萄酒多姿多彩、容易配搭各種美食。這晚我們就看看本地粵菜和她所擦出的火花。Château de Saint Martin – Cuvee Grande Reserve 2008 和 Domaine Saint André de Figuière – Vieilles Vignes Blanc 2008為我們在國金軒的晚宴揭開了序幕。Château de Saint Martin散發著花香與新鮮柑橘的口味，而Domaine Saint André de Figuière 擁有桃子的芬芳。這兩瓶葡萄酒直接易飲，很適合餐前品嚐。
Provence wine is versatile to pair with various cuisines and what’s better than to pair them with our local Cantonese Food. To kick off our night at IFC’s Cuisine Cuisine, we had the Château de Saint Martin – Cuvee Grande Reserve 2008 and Domaine Saint André de Figuière – Vieilles Vignes Blanc 2008 before dinner. The Château de Saint Martin is floral on the nose with a fresh and citrus palate and the Domaine Saint André de Figuière on the other hand is peachy and fragrant. Both wines are easy to drink and are great choice for pre-dinner tasting.
頭盤是頭抽葱燒鱈魚蝦球，葡萄酒選了Domaine de Pontfract Rosé 2009來搭配。這可愛的粉紅色玫瑰紅酒，帶著紅櫻桃水果味，跟彈牙的蝦球和鮮嫩的鱈魚很配合。
For starter, we had the Prawns and Cod fillet with Premium Soy Sauce which is paired with Domaine de Pontfract Rosé 2009. This lovely Pink Rosé shows red cherry fruits and is a good compliment to the fresh prawns and succulent Cod fish.
接下來是龍蝦湯燉鮮蟹肉，我們以Baron Gassier Rosé 2008一同品嚐。這瓶酒擁有豐富紅果味如草莓和櫻桃。當搭配湯時，果味更進一步提升，這高難度的配搭帶出了很好的效果。
Next came the Braised Lobster Soup with Fresh Crab Meat and we had the Baron Gassier Rosé 2008 with it. This wine is fruity with red fruits like strawberry and cherry and when paired with the soup, the fruit flavors are further elevated, this is a difficult pairing which worked out really well.
接下是Château d’Esclans – Whispering Angel Rosé 2008，她的顏色是淺三文魚色，帶著紅果和香草的香氣，在口中充滿果味。蠔皇芥末鮑魚做得很出色，但豐富的果味蓋過了這道菜的味道。
The Château d’Esclans – Whispering Angel Rosé 2008 follows and it is light salmon in colour, red fruits and vanilla on the nose with a fruity core in the mouth. The Braised Abalone with Oyster and Mustard Sauce is done nicely but the wine is too fruity for this dish.
對於咕嚕汁安格斯牛柳粒這道菜，我們轉以一瓶紅酒Château de l’Escarelle來陪搭。 Belles Bastilles Rouge 2006有櫻桃和動物的氣息，在口中她的酒體中等，有黑果味和泥土的感覺。這是當晚我最喜歡的酒，她的複雜性和多汁的口感與安格斯牛柳粒結合時變得更圓融和特顯了泥土的感覺。
For the Angus Beef Cube with Sweet and Sour Sauce, we moved to a Red Wine from Château de l’Escarelle. Its Belles Bastilles Rouge 2006 has a nose of cherry and animal notes and on the palate, it shows dark juicy fruits and earthiness in a medium body. This is my favorite wine of the night, its complexity and juicy texture is a great pairing with the Angus Beef as the wine became more round and earthy.
這晚上最後的一瓶葡萄酒是Château Sainte Roseline – Lampe de Méduse Rouge 2006。聞下去有野生動物的感覺，她乾身的口感帶有泥土、橡木和櫻桃果味。這慷慨的酒和泰式蝦膏海鮮炒飯搭配時顯得溫柔一些。
The last wine of the evening is the Château Sainte Roseline – Lampe de Méduse Rouge 2006. This wine has a wild animal feel on the nose, it is dry in the mouth with earthy, oak and cherry fruit flavor. This generous wine feels softer when paired with the Sautéed Rice with Seafood and Thailand Shrimp Paste.
我們這頓美妙的晚宴以朱古力脆脆拼拉椰芒果卷作結，帶來一個完美的結局。希望你們喜歡我們的分享，並期待大家在將來能享受普羅旺斯美酒帶來的樂趣。
We finish off this lovely meal with Profiteroles and Chilled Coconut Roll filled with Mangoes. The sweet dessert brings to a perfect ending for this wonderful evening and hope you enjoy the moments we captured in this photo album. Cheers and look forward to seeing you all enjoying some nice Provence Wines in the future.
