美酒拍賣商Acker
Merrall & Condit將於本星期六，舉辦本年第二場名酒拍賣會，共推出一千一百批佳釀，分別來自美國 一家著名餐廳的藏酒、美國及布根地資深收藏家，當中逾二千瓶酒來自波爾多 酒莊、三千瓶來自布根地及一千二百瓶極品香檳，總估值高達三千萬港元。AMC總裁John Kapon指，葡萄酒價值在經歷金融海嘯的衝擊後，現正穩步上升，相信香港市場將愈來愈穩健。
今次拍賣會中，最受矚目的拍品，是一批六支的一九八五年、由被譽為布根地「葡萄酒之神」Henri Jayer釀製的 Richebourg紅酒，最高估價高達四十八萬港元，平均每瓶八萬元。Henri Jayer是布根地傳奇的釀酒師，已於○六年去世，故此市場上的珍存可稱為「絕版」美酒，而今次推出的八五年藏品，屬絕佳的年份，當年只出產了廿五箱，該酒散發着大量清新果味的酒香，喝一口酒香更會於口腔內縈繞不散。 (.... i am not a big fans
of red wine, but reli wanna know if it tastes that gd?!...seems like his wine

其次最高估價的拍品是一箱十二瓶裝的○五年Chateau Petrus，最高估價三十八萬港元，該批紅酒為原木箱組合，相信將備受買家垂青。而其他受矚目的拍品包括一瓶最高估價為九萬六千港元的八五年DRC Rommanee Conti、估價五萬六千港元的十二瓶Dom Perignon香檳，該批香檳包括了不同年份的組合，香檳愛好者絕不容錯過。
John Kapon表示，現時已有二百五十名美酒愛好者登記參與競投，有信心星期六拍賣會情況將非常熱烈。
另外，本港昨日與匈牙利簽署合作備忘錄，加強葡萄酒的投資及貿易。商務及經濟發展局 常任秘書長蔡瑩璧表示，減免酒稅後的一年本港入口葡萄酒已達到三十億元，比上一年同期增加八成三，而今年本港已舉辦過十二次葡萄酒拍賣會，交易額達三億六千萬元，她對本港發展成國際葡萄酒中心的前景表示樂觀。

Henri Jayer譽滿全球

以葡萄酒為主題的日本 漫畫《神之水滴》，不但熱爆日本，更紅遍港台 ，就連法國 亦已開始售賣法文版，而漫畫的第一集的內容更是圍繞着被稱為「布根地葡萄酒之神」的Henri Jayer，其釀製的一九五九年Richebourg被描繪成男主角父親死前最想喝的葡萄酒，可見Henri Jayer所釀製的葡萄酒譽滿全球。
Henri Jayer十七歲開始接管父親的酒莊，負責植樹釀酒，二戰後考取釀酒師學位，其葡萄園堅持傳統的人力翻土，不施除草劑，釀酒方面他選擇去除葡萄梗，發酵前低溫浸皮，更每次都使用新橡木桶，堅持將木桶的美味帶到酒瓶中。於○六年去世的Henri Jayer是布根地傳奇釀酒師，他將黑比諾葡萄釀造出氣韻濃郁優雅、令無數人為之着迷的頂級葡萄酒，其釀製的葡萄酒，通常一瓶難求，如今市場上更是「飲一瓶，少一瓶」。

(From
Wikipedia) Henri Jayer was a French vintner who is credited with introducing important innovations
to Burgundian
winemaking.
He was particularly known for the quality of his Pinot Noir.
Jayer was born in Vosne-Romanée. He attended the University of Dijon in the 1940s and earned a degree in enology.
Using a 7.4-acre (30,000 m2) inheritance that included parcels
in the Echézeaux and Beaux Monts vineyards,
Jayer began producing wine under his own label in the 1950s.
Jayer
pioneered the now-universal idea that great winemaking begins in the vineyard.
Jayer opposed extensive use of chemicals in vineyards and advocated plowing to
control weeds. Jayer's most important contribution to winemaking may have been
the cold maceration technique,
in which crushed Pinot Noir grapes are allowed to soak before fermenting to
bring out the fruit's color and flavor.
In
1996, the French Government told Jayer that he must either retire or forfeit
his pension. In response, Jayer transferred his vineyards to his nephew,
Emmanuel Rouget, but was still responsible for half the wine being bottled
under Rouget's name until 2002.Jayer's last vintage was in 2001. Jayer died in Dijon, France of prostate
cancer, aged 84.
