我在香港2012Vinexpo 的第一天上午品鉴了10款来自于勃根第香颂家族的酒,并有幸结识了庄主Gilles de Courcel。
当天,Gilles de Courcel向我展现了勃根第人的认真和敬业的工作态度,他在每打开一款酒后都要试饮,确认酒没有出现保存、运输等任何问题后,再让我们品尝。在品鉴了10款来自香颂的酒后,完全颠覆了我以往对香颂的印象,每支酒都很出色。或许正如Gilles de Courcel所说,他把每支酒都当作自己的儿子来看待,所有酒都由他亲自采摘和酿造的。
During the HK Vinexpo 2010, on the morning of my first day, I was so fortunately to taste ten wines from Chanson—a Bourgogne famous family, and meet the owner-Gilles de Courcel as well.
On that day, Gilles de Courcel showed me the hardworking and seriously working attitude of the burgundian; he didn’t let me taste the wine until he carefully tried every wine before our tasting to make sure all the wines without any problem (storage, transportation, etc). After I have tried all the ten wines, it really made me recognize the Chanson, all the wines were outstanding. Maybe as the words of Gilles de Courcel, he regards these wines as his sons; all of them were picked and made by himself.
