Georges Lignier et Fils Gevrey Chambertin 1er Cru Combottes 2017 里尼耶父子酒莊康寶特（熱夫雷-香貝丹一級園）紅葡萄酒

Established at the beginning of the 20^th Century, Domaine Georges Lignier has successfully remained a family-owned estate.  It was the domaine’s founder, Georges Lignier, who was responsible for transforming it in to its current state; now a grand-father himself, it all started when he had inherited some vines from his father Jules. The buildings which the property occupies today came in to the family’s ownership at this time. He was determined to make it one of the largest and most important properties in Morey Saint Denis. To which end, he has been more than successful, as the domaine now covers 16 hectares. George’s son, Bernard, formed a partnership with him in 1949 in order to help with the planting of vines.  It was at this time that the domain broke away from the local cooperative, so as to concentrate on making wine under its own label. His own young son Georges, who took over from his father in 1970, established an integrated winemaking policy at the domain and greatly increased the bottling capacity. To this day, he contributes invaluable support drawing on his experience and shrewdness.

However, a new chapter has been added to the story with the arrival of his nephew Benoit Stehly at the property in 2002, after completing his oenology studies.

The domain now covers 17 appellations over 16 hectares, distributed over 50 parcels of vines, planted principally with Pinot Noir.

Sandwiched between three Grands Crus, it’s perhaps no surprise that Les Combottes is the pick of this century-old family domaine’s Premiers Crus. Nuanced red berry fruit with notes of spice and leafy undergrowth, this is a wine of impressive length.

Country: Burgundy, France

Grape type: Pinot Noir

Tasting Notes: Red berries overlaid by gentle vanilla and oak with leafy undertones, with aroma of ripe raspberry, cherry, vanilla spice and autumn leaves.

里尼耶父子酒莊（Domaine Georges Lignier et Fils）位於法國布根地（Burgundy）夜丘（Cote de Nuits）產區的莫雷-聖丹尼（Morey-Saint-Denis）產酒村，是該產酒村內一座家族式精品酒莊。　　

里尼耶父子酒莊由喬治·里尼耶（Georges Lignier）創建於20世紀初期，當時，喬治從父親朱爾斯（Jules）手中繼承了一些葡萄園，以此為基礎建立了里尼耶父子酒莊。喬治立志要將酒莊建設成為莫雷-聖丹尼村的龍頭酒莊，因此里尼耶家族的幾代人都在為此而奮鬥。 1949年，喬治的兒子伯納德（Bernard）加入里尼耶父子酒莊，和喬治一起管理葡萄園。也正是從這段時間開始，里尼耶父子酒莊開始集中精力釀造屬於自家品牌的葡萄酒。 1970年，伯納德的小兒子喬治接管了里尼耶父子酒莊，他為酒莊制定了完整的葡萄酒釀造規範，大大提高了酒莊的釀酒技術。 2002年，小喬治的侄子伯努瓦·史特里（Benoit Stehly）在完成了他的釀酒學業後，也成為里尼耶父子酒莊的一員，從此酒莊的發展翻開了一個新的篇章。

葡萄品種：100% Pinot Noir。

風土：Gevrey-Chambertin村是夜丘菁華區的起點，這裏有高達九座特級園（Grand Cru），為全布根地之冠，更相傳拿破崙最喜好這個地方所生產的酒，因此也被稱為「王者之村」。

釀造：堅持手工採收，兩次嚴格選果，80%的除梗後，進行4~5天的低溫冷浸泡，之後導入控溫槽中，幫助原生酵母啟動發酵，再換置於小橡木桶中進行18~20個月的長期培養。新桶比例特級園約50%，一級園約30%，其餘都為舊桶，並且在裝瓶前的一個月，會再進行一次過桶，以天然方式進行過濾沉澱。

一級園「Les Combottes」具有獨特的地理位置。處於村莊的邊界，被包裹在數個特級園，包括「Latricieres Chambertin」，「Mazoyeres Chambertin」，以及「Clos de la Roche」之間。樹齡約為60~65歲。具有即為逼近特級園的堅強實力，事實上也有酒莊申請此塊一級園應升級成為特級園。結實俊美，黑色緊緻的水果風味，具有強大的陳年實力。
