January 5, 2011 admin No Comments

每年一度的亞洲美食佳釀暨酒店及餐飲設備展是推廣澳門餐飲業的最大展覽。這次除了可觀賞品酒師挑戰賽和雞尾酒錦標賽等比賽外，也試了很多優質的葡萄酒。其中 J de Telmont 香檳酒莊的釀酒師 Bertrand Lhopital 跟我們分享了他家族的香檳傳統。

Wine & Gourmet Asia is Macau’s biggest Food & Beverage Exhibtion. Apart from watching the Sommelier Challenge and the Asian Cocktail Championship, we also had the chance to try many quality wines. We met winemaker Bertrand Lhopital from Champagne J de Telmont where he shared his family tradition.

J de Telmont 香檳酒莊自1912年以來經營家族香檳生意，Bertrand Lhopital 是家族的第四代，他們採用了高達92%的一級或特級葡萄來釀製香檳，這次我們嘗試了其中四款:

Champagne J de Telmont is a family run Champagne house since 1912 and Bertrand Lhopital is the 4th generation of the family. They use upto 92% of 1er Cru or Grand Cru quality grapes for their Champagnes and here are the four we tasted:

Grande Reserve Brut NV 精選香檳

這香檳帶著檸檬和柚子的味道，她清爽的酸度非常適合各種場合。

Fresh with bright acidity, lemon and grapefruit flavours, good for all occasions.

Grand Rose Brut NV 玫瑰香檳

一瓶果味充溢的葡萄酒，美麗地散發著清新的柑橘和草莓果味。

Citrus and strawberry notes, a beautiful wine with abundance fresh fruit.

Blanc de Blancs Brut 2004 白中白年份香檳

柑橘和牛油的香氣結合了梨、柚子和烤麵包的味道。酸度公整實在，口感幼細均衡。

Citrus and buttery nose combines with flavours of pear, grapefruit and toast. Firm acidity and refined texture.

Grand Vintage Brut 2003 年份香檳

聞下去帶著複雜的酵母氣味，味道是成熟的水果、堅果及礦物。這葡萄酒顯示了他的深度與成熟，跟對上的白中白香檳形成了強烈對比。

Complex yeasty nose with ripe fruits, nuts and minerality on the palate. A wine showing its intensity and maturity, a complete opposite to the previous Blanc de Blancs.

我喜愛他們香檳的高質果味，希望在2011年亞洲美食佳釀暨酒店及餐飲設備展能再次跟 Lhopital 先生見面!

I enjoy the quality of fruit across the range and I hope to see Mr. Lhopital again at the next Wine & Gourmet Asia in 2011!
