Xavier SM NV

Here SM does not refer to psychiatric terminology (sadomascochism) but astronomy terms of Septerntrional and Meridional , Latin terms meaning the North and the South.

The cuvee is 50% of 60 years old Syrah from 12 parcels of different characteristic terroirs from Northern Rhone and 50% 80 years old Grenache from 13 parcels Southern Rhone. All parcels chosen have gone through detail mineral salts analysis for the outstanding concentration they offered. Terroirs cannot be revealed because of legal reason and it allies several vintages.

As usual, Xavier is bona fide for biodynamic approach though not officially registered. Multi-layers manual harvesting and polyphenol of berries is analyzed on a daily basis to decide harvest time. It is all hand made with the least human intervention.

 Xavier used to be the master blender of Dom Perignon and leading consultant of Cloudy Bay. As oenologist and agronomist, his core business is consulting from vineyard to cellar. Xavier vins is a négociant acquiring wine from producers who hire his service.

夏維雅酒莊

這兒的SM不是指心理學的術語（性虐戀）而是天文學上的玄武和朱雀，即拉丁文的北和南。

這配搭是50％來自北隆河谷12個不同村落,不同土質的六十年老滕施赫葡萄,和13個不同村落精挑細選的南隆河谷八十年的格納殊老滕。每個村落的基酒都經過嚴格的礦物成份分析，確保酒質濃郁絕倫。具體來自哪片屬土，由於法律理由不能透露。這是混了幾個不同的年份。

如常，夏維雅是生動力學取向釀酒的保證，即使不是正式註冊。分層人手採摘以及每天測量分析每粒葡萄的多酚含量來決定收成時間，整個釀制過程全人手精製而且採取最低的人為干預。

備註：夏維雅是前酩悅香檳的首席釀酒師和朵雲軒的首席顧問。“夏維雅“品牌的酒是從聘請夏維雅為顧問的酒莊收購勾兌出來的。
