有啲人走進布根地係因為繼承家族傳統，但Vadim Sidorovitch並唔係。佢原本係分子生物學家，曾經喺馬克斯普朗克研究所、哈佛同五角大樓研究酵母。後來讀到Emile Peynaud嘅《葡萄酒的風味》，就毅然離開實驗室。2010年佢連法文都未識就搬去Beaune，由零開始學釀酒，2015年創立Ayme Vadim，只選用最優質嘅一級園同特級園葡萄，並畀佢哋極長時間熟成。
呢啲布根地黑皮諾之所以特別，係因為同時具備清澈純淨同精緻層次，正正由超長木桶熟成所塑造。佢只選用有機同生物動力法葡萄，經過雙重篩選，只有必要時先去梗，用原生酵母發酵。之後喺橡木桶陳釀—好多時都超過六年🤯—再由單一酒桶人手裝瓶，唔澄清、唔過濾，只加極少量硫。結果係果味純淨、單寧幼細、香氣清晰，結構好但唔重，整體乾淨又有深度。每年產量大約2,500瓶，大部分酒款只得約300瓶。
今次2015年份一級園，正係呢種理念最濃縮嘅體現：Volnay Les Brouillards Premier Cru（有力而精準）,Volnay Les Santenots Premier Cru（結構扎實、層次深厚）,Chambolle-Musigny Les Gruenchers Premier Cru（優雅而帶礦物感）,Vosne-Romanee Les Rouges du Dessus Premier Cru（絲滑而集中）。呢批酒來自溫暖、低產量、葡萄皮厚嘅年份，佢哋都係單桶裝瓶，現存數量已極少。
目前只餘少量庫存，即日起至11月16日Ayme Vadim酒款享有95折優惠。稀有又有實質內涵，想要就快手。
Some paths into Burgundy are inherited. Vadim Sidorovitch’s was not. A molecular biologist who once worked on yeast at the Max Planck Institute, Harvard Medical School and the Pentagon, he walked away from the lab after discovering Emile Peynaud’s The Taste of Wine. In 2010 he moved to Beaune without speaking French, learned the craft from the ground up, and in 2015 founded Ayme Vadim with a single rule: only the finest Premier and Grand Cru fruit, given extraordinary time.
What makes these Burgundy Pinot Noirs special is the rare combination of crystalline purity and refined depth, shaped by unusually long elevage. Only organic and biodynamic fruit is selected; the grapes are double-sorted, destemmed only when necessary, and fermented with native yeasts and no added sulphites. The wines then spend an exceptional period in barrel—often more than six years🤯—before being hand-bottled from a single cask with no fining or filtration and minimal sulphur. This extended aging produces Pinots of striking clarity: pure fruit, fine tannins, aromatic lift and a quiet intensity that feels both precise and alive. With around 2,500 bottles a year and most cuvees limited to roughly 300, each release is almost a one-off.
The 2015 Premier Crus offered here show this approach at its most concentrated: Volnay Les Brouillards Premier Cru (powerful yet precise), Volnay Les Santenots Premier Cru (structured and deep), Chambolle-Musigny Les Gruenchers Premier Cru (elegant and mineral), and Vosne-Romanee Les Rouges du Dessus Premier Cru (silky and focused). From a warm, low-yielding vintage of thick-skinned grapes, these single-barrel expressions are already scarce.
Small quantities remain; 5% off Ayme Vadim wines until Nov 16. For those who value rarity with real substance, there is little reason to wait.

Maison Ayme Vadim Volnay Les Brouillards Premier Cru 2015 - Bt
HK$2150 ▷ HK$2040
Riper and more concentrated than typical Volnay, with ripe cherry, dried plum and subtle floral lift over a dark-fruit core. Structured yet classical and restrained, it shows firm but refined, well-integrated tannins and a balanced, composed palate of moderate length and clear aging potential.
Maison Ayme Vadim Volnay Les Santenots Premier Cru 2015 - Bt
HK$2250 ▷ HK$2135
Deep ruby. The long stay in old oak bring a black-currant thread through ripe cherry, raspberry and plum, softened by violet and earth. Clay gives more body and velvet than a typical Volnay, yet the wine stays precise and lifted rather than heavy. Fine tannins and aromatic lift lead to a refined, sappy finish. Intense but with quiet subtlety—best on its own.
Maison Ayme Vadim Chambolle-Musigny Les Gruenchers Premier Cru 2015 - Bt
HK$2800 ▷ HK$2660
From a slope with excellent exposure adjacent to Bonnes-Mares and just below Les Fuées, this shows black cherry, dark berries and subtle florals with saline-tinged minerality from the limestone soils. Classical and elegant yet firmly structured, the palate is rich and composed, with ripe cherry and black fruit lifted by fresh acidity and fine-grained tannins. The finish is long and mineral-driven, carrying a touch of savory spice and refined delicacy.
Maison Ayme Vadim Vosne-Romanee Les Rouges du Dessus Premier Cru 2015 - Bt
HK$3250 ▷ HK$3085
Medium ruby. Bright red cherry, strawberry, violet and mineral notes thread with black currant. The palate is linear and elegant rather than rich, with fine tannins, lively acidity and a silky texture, finishing clean, focused and persistent with aromatic lift and quiet intensity.
