這些日子裡,要說葡萄酒圈最火爆的事件,就是拉菲古堡2018年份酒標的正式發布,這一年具有特殊意義,是拉菲酒莊被羅斯柴爾德家族收購150週年,為了慶祝這一里程碑式的成就,在酒標上做紀念標,成了歷史上的首次。
波爾多名莊聯合會Union Des Grand Crus De Bordeaux於今明兩天在倫敦舉行年度品嚐會,展示他們的2018年份葡萄酒。
Bordeaux, a region with a strong following globally but particularly amongst Chinese buyers, continues to dominate – Lafite Rothschild and Mouton Rothschild remain firm favourites. But as the market has continued to diversify, wine merchants in Asia have been increasingly embracing wines from Italy, Champagne, and the Rest of the World (which hit a record market share in August this year), with Sassicaia, Opus One and Cristal making an appearance in the top twenty.
