Mei's little Volnay
在看了Mei的酒评后,感触很深,想说一定要把它翻译成中文,给现在还执着在拉菲世界里的姐妹们。
2007 Domaine Joseph Voillot Volnay 1er Cru Les Champans

在喝了卡侬世家二军酒Marquis de Calon 2006,倒尽胃口之后,我毅然重返勃根弟寻求救赎。
这次,我彻底被这支美味而又复杂的亲爱volnay给征服了: 夺目的淡黑樱桃的红色挑逗着我的眼神,我就这么被春天里潮湿的森林里晨露的清新招换着不知不觉已经进入volnay的世界,纯净而深邃的矿物质想我不由联想到山间岩石边上淌流着的清凉的小溪,有捣碎的覆盆子和樱桃的味道,夹杂着罗勒草和薄菏的清香,干玫瑰花瓣的味道若隐若形,所有的香气交织着一起,紧致而平衡。轻呷一口,柔和的单宁抚过舌头,口腔上升起一股清幽的酸以及矿物质质感带来精致美好,在口腔中久久不曾散去。
Wow,实在是太美妙了,这不正是天仙妹妹?
Jean-Pierre Charlot是一个非常热心的酒师,在我登门造仿离开之时,他把这瓶酒当作礼物送给了我。我喝酒的时候时常在想做这支酒那个家伙到底是个什么样的人:他的激情,他的顾虑以及他对葡萄树,葡萄园以及酒窖的呵护倍致到底是出于什么一种情结,还有我们之间关于葡萄酒酿造的对话以及他眼里的葡萄酒世界应该是什么样…,一切的一切总会情不自禁,又把我带回到那一段美好的记忆里…
是啊,它没有Chambertin深遂,没有Romannée高贵,也没有Musigny复杂,但是它够真实,纯美而优雅,我可以感受到它跟我的心的对话,曾带给我那么多的欢乐。
于我,它就是无意从乡间摘到的一朵小白花,沁人心脾,让我充满了幸福。是让我每天都都喝能喝上一点的好酒,且在我每次喝的时候都心存感激:啊,生活真美好!
After being extremely disappointed by a mediocre Marquis de Calon (2ND wine of Calon Segur) 2006, I turned to Burgundy for salvation.

And I was so enlightened by this delicate, sophisticated little Volnay!
A pale black cherry “robe” pleased the eyes at the first glance, and a nose that resembled the fresh forest floor of spring time drew me further in. Oh, the pure, piercing minerality reminded me of a cool brook running over mountain rocks! So intense yet so poised, it revealed itself in stages: crushed raspberries and cherries, aromatic herbs such as parsley and mint, and hints of withered rose petals adding more intrigue!!
A sip - gentle tannins caressed the palate while the lifting acidity and mineral backbone carried the delicious whole to a persistent and rounded finish.
What a delicacy! "What a beautiful, attractive country girl", I whispered!
Volnay 1er Cru Les Champans 2007 by Domaine Joseph Voillot.
A vigneron of heart, Jean-Pierre Charlot gave this bottle to me as a gift at the end of my visit to his domaine. When I drank this wine, I was thinking of the man who had made it, his passions and worries, the plots of vines that he showed me and cared so much, his winery and cellar, as well as our conversation on wine-making and the world of wine. A wine that brought me back in time, back into beautiful memories.
Yes it is true - it may not have the depth of Chambertin, the nobleness of Romannée, or the complexity of Musigny. But it is honest, pure and elegant. It speaks to your heart. It offers so much pleasure.
It is the little flower that I would pick up from the countryside and feel so happy
It is the little wine that I would drink every day and feel grateful that life is so beautiful.
