11月17日，世界知名酒评家罗伯特·帕克（Robert Parker）团队发布了“2020葡萄酒百大精选Top 100 Wine Discoveries”榜单。来自中国山东青岛莱西的九顶庄园“氣”霞多丽2018位列第52位！
“今天的新发现，明日的膜拜酒。”是对“葡萄酒百大精选”榜单的精准概括。这也是继去年“New York Matter of Taste event”发现全球十大顶级葡萄酒活动后RP团队的又一新动作大榜单。该榜单不仅关注酒的评分，还强调葡萄酒背后的故事，旨在鼓励在酿酒行业有创新精神的酿酒师，充满热情地工作。
Following the success of unveiling ten top wine discoveries last year at their New York Matter of Taste event,the review team at Robert Parker Wine Advocate have since taken this initiative a step further.Announcing their best newly discovered,under-the-radar wines of the year,through this innovative review,the organization aims to encourage an exploration of new territories within the winemaking industry,whilst learning about the passionate work of often previously unheralded wine makers.Qi Chardonnay 2018 from Chateau Nine Peaks of Shandong in China has been ranked 52nd on the list.
由帕克团队10名葡萄酒评论家组成，在过去的一年中，他们对30,000多款世界各地的葡萄酒进行了品评，最终选择出100款上榜酒款。入选“葡萄酒百大精选”榜单的葡萄酒必须符合这四个要求：
第一，具有较高价值；
第二，适合长期陈放；
第三，在种植和酿造都遵循可持续发展的理念；
第四，体现了创新精神。
值得一提的是，“2020葡萄酒百大精选”榜单中有两家中国酒庄入围。
Dubbed the‘Top 100 Wine Discoveries’of 2020,this review is paneled by an expert team of 10 wine critics.With over 30,000 wines reviewed throughout the past year,only 100 wines are selected as Top 100.Scouring the earth for the most noteworthy wines,the selection criteria for the Top 100 Wine Discoveries are founded on wines that come from outside the mainstream,are new,and have one or more of the following attributes:value,age-worthiness,sustainability,and wines that represent innovative approaches,whether in the vineyards,winery or otherwise.It is worth mentioning that two Chinese wineries are shortlisted.
入围“2020葡萄酒百大精选”榜单中的两款中国葡萄酒：一款是九顶庄园近期上市的新酒气霞多丽2018，另一款来自河北怀来产区中法庄园的小芒森2014。
These two Chinese wines are Chateau Nine Peaks'Qi Chardonnay 2018&Domaine Franco Chinois'Petit Manseng 2014.
九顶庄园本次入围的气霞多丽2018由葡萄酒大师杜慕康（Edward Ragg MW）品鉴：九顶庄园位于以啤酒闻名于世界的青岛莱西市，在九顶种植顾问Eric Moro和朱化平的建议下种植了小味儿多，在酿酒师丹尼丝、马克和金海霞的指导下，提升了霞多丽的品质。这款酒有着丰富的默尔索（Meursault）风格的果香，温和的酸度不乏质感，明智的选择了新橡木桶，拥有足够长的余味和活力。
The tasting note from Edward Ragg MW of RP team for C9P's Qi Chardonnay 2018:Located in Qingdao,better known for its beer(Tsingtao in export markets),Chateau Nine Peaks has pioneered plantings of Petit Verdot proposed by Eric Moro,viticulture consultant of C9P and Sam ZHU,Chief Viticulturist of C9P,and under the direction of winemakers Denise Cosentino,Marc Dworkin and Emily,has improved its Chardonnays.This wine has the abundant fruit of Meursault,with softer acids and no lack of texture.Use of new oak is judicious and there is plenty of length and vitality.
《葡萄酒倡导者》2020年10月第251期中这样描述这款酒：九顶庄园2018年的霞多丽白葡萄酒：淡至中等柠檬色，散发着诱人的果香，比如成熟的桃子，杏和红苹果，橡木陈年为这款酒带来了微妙的二级香气，比如吐司，丁香，烟熏和香草味。酒体中等，酸度适中，酒泥陈年带来微妙的乳质口感。这款霞多丽葡萄酒浓郁的果味，可贯串整个品鉴过程，余味优雅而悠长。毫无疑问，这是中国最优质的霞多丽葡萄酒之一！
The 2018 Qi Chardonnay has a pale to moderate lemon appearance and sports a very attractive nose bursting with ripe peach,apricot and red apple fruit with subtle,secondary new oak notes of toast,clove,smoke and vanilla.Produced in a medium-bodied style with moderate alcohol,the palate is lifted by some buoyant acidity offset by a subtle creamy lees-textured mouthfeel.There's marked purity of fruit to this wine combined with decent concentration throughout.Long length with an elegant,well-integrated finish.This is without a doubt one of China's most serious Chardonnays!（Source，Issue 251 End of October 2020,The Wine Advocate）
天地合氣，万物自生
——汉•王充《论衡•自然》
这便是九顶庄园酿造氣葡萄酒的初衷：尊重当地风土赋予葡萄酒的独特之处。
Harmony between heaven and earth,everything on its own,from Wang Chong's"Lun Heng·Nature"in Han Dynasty.
This coincides with the original intention of Chateau Nine Peaks to make Qi wines:respecting the uniqueness of the local terroir to making the wines.
天地人，三才者,在葡萄酒的领域，我们也可以找到相似的内容：
天时，为气候
地利，为土壤
人和，为种植酿造者
Heaven,earth and mankind,three talents;
The right time,the right place&the right people.
作为九顶庄园顶级的“氣”系列葡萄酒，我们一直致力于把这片独特的风土装进酒瓶里，让它成为中国青岛风土力量的最佳演绎者。这瓶上市前，就已屡获殊荣的2018年份“氣”霞多丽，让我们感觉到，似乎，我们离这个目标，越来越近了。
As C9P's top"Qi"series,we have been trying to respect the local terroir,making the wines to reflect the energy of Qingdao's terroir.This award-winning Chardonnay of 2018 makes us feel that we are getting closer and closer to this goal.
