#8この神の恵みを両手に抱いて
#8 Take this God’s Blessing with Both Hands

この2本のワインに秘められた謎って何?//格下の「ヴォーヌ・ロマネ」と特級畑の「エシェゾー」では味も香りも段違いのはず……
Miyabi- What mystery are these two bottles hiding?// The aroma and flavor should be on different levels between a Vosne-Romanee village wine and the grand cru Echezeaux……

どういうことだ これは?
Shizuku- What is this?

この小僧……
Robert- This kid……

Page 194

みやびちゃんブルゴーニュワインの「村名」と「特急畑」ってぜんぜん別物だよな?//え?ええ そうよ
Shizuku- Miyabi, a village wine and a grand cru’s wine in Burgundy are completely different things, right?// Miyabi- Huh? Yeah, that’s right.

あたしの記憶だと//「グロ・フレール・エ・セール」の「村名ワイン」は3千円ちょっとで買えたはず
From what I remember,// you can buy Gros Frere et Soeur’s village wines for a little more than 3000 yen.

それに比べて特急畑の中でも人気の高い「エシェゾー」は少なくとも倍以上の値段のはずだし……
Compared to that, Echezeaux, a popular wine among even the grand crus, should be at the least a couple times more than that…..

値段はいいんだ 言葉で説明してくれ//は はい
Shizuku- Forget the price. Explain it in words.// Miyabi- O-Okay.

特急畑というのは畑の土の質や日当たり//水はけなどの葡萄を取り巻く環境が特に優れていると認められた畑のことなの
A grand cru is a field where the grapes are surrounded by// an environment where the quality of the soil, the sunshine and the water drainage have been recognized as exceptional.

そこで穫れた葡萄から造られたワインの特徴は土質が味わいや香に日当たりや水はけが果実味となって現れるの//これが畑の環境や性質 つまり「テロワール」と呼ばれるものなの
The characteristics of the soil appear in the savor of the fruit and the sunshine and drainage in the aroma. The characteristics of a wine then are from the grapes. // This is the field’s environment and character. Also called its terroir.

Page 195

テロワール……
Shizuku- Terroir……

素晴らしい//トロワールの特徴が見事に表現されている
Yutaka- Wonderful// The characteristics of the terroir come out beautifully.

それに対して「村名ワイン」は―
Miyabi- Compared to that, the village wines―

その村のどこかの畑で穫れた葡萄をブレンドしたりあるいはレベルの低い畑で穫れた葡萄だったりするから//土などの環境 つまりテロワールの特徴があまり出ないワインにどうしてもなってしまうの
are often either a blend of grapes from fields somewhere in the village or perhaps made from grapes from a lower level field.// So the characteristics of the soil or environment, in other words the terroir, simply just don’t come out so much.

Page 196

そうか……//だがこれは……
Shizuku- Okay……// Written- But this is……

「エシェゾー」のほうがわずかに色が濃い気がする//それはヴィンテージのレベルの違いかも……葡萄が大量作の’02年はブルゴーニュのグレートイヤーといわれてるから濃厚なワインが多いの
The color in the Echezeaux I feel is slightly stronger.// Miyabi- That might be from a difference in the quality of the vintage……’02 is said to be a great year in Burgundy and many grapes were harvested then so there is a lot of richer wine.

でも’01年はそこそこの年で……
But ’01 was just a moderate year……

Page 197

先入観は持つな……//でないとこのワインの謎は見えてこない……
Shizuku- Don’t be biased……// Or I won’t be able to see the mystery in the wine……

Page 200

紅い花に囲まれた果樹園
An orchard surrounded by red flowers.

足元にはミントやシナモンなどの//ハーブが葉を繁らせている
Mint and cinnamon at my feet.// The herbs are growing lush.

オレが両手に抱えるのはブラック・チェリー レッド・カランチ プラム 大粒の完熟苺//そしてわずかだが特徴的なオレンジの香……
Embraced in my hands are black cherries, red currants, plums, plump ripe strawberries,// and though slight, a characteristic orange fragrance……

右手も左手もまったく同じ果実の芳香と味わい//そこには何ひとつ違いがみられない
The exact same fruit’s fragrance and savor in both the left and right hands.// I can’t see a single difference.

やはりそうだ//この2本のワインは……
So that’s it after all.// These two wines are……

Page 201

テイスティングは済んだか?
Robert- Done with your tasting?

はい
Shizuku- Yes.

では今一度問いかけよう
Robert- Then I’ll ask you once now.

この格違いの2本のワインに秘められた謎とは何ぞや?
What’s the mystery hidden in these two different ranking wines?

Page 203

この2本は―//同じワインです
Shizuku- These two bottles are―// the same wine.

な 何言ってるの雫さん そんなわけないわ
Miyabi- W-What are you saying Shizuku. There’s no way.

ラベルを見て!!//かたや「村名」!かたや2段格上の特徴畑ワイン「エシェゾー」なのよ!?
Look at the labels!!// One’s a village wine! One’s from a characteristic field two ranks up, an Echezeaux!?

いくらドメーヌが一緒でも同じワインなんてありえないわ//いいや 間違いないこの二つは同じ畑で造られている
No matter how much it’s the same domaine, there’s no way they could be the same wine.// Shizuku- No, these two were unmistakably made at the same field.

Page 203

どっちも素晴らしい//でも今飲むならこっちょの’01年の「村なワイン」のほうがずっとおいしい
They both are wonderful.//But if you drink them now, this ’01 village wine is far better.

果実の重量感はないけれど//だからかえって少し熟して飲み頃だ
There’s not that full taste of the fruit,// but because of that, it matured a little faster and is ripe for drinking.

ただしみやびちゃんが言うように’02年の特級畑は農作の年だけあってグッと重たい感じはするけど//そんな
And like you said Miyabi, just from the grand cru being heavily harvested in ’02, there’s a sudden heavy feeling.// Miyabi- That’s……

もう一度言うぜ//この二つのワインは同じ畑から生まれた年違いの「兄弟だ」
Shizuku- I’ll say it again.// These wines were born from the same field and are brothers from different years.

クックッ
Written- Hehe

ワーハハハハハッ//面白い お前実に面白い奴だ!
Robert- Wahh hahahahaha// You’re funny. You’re really a funny kid!

Page 204

教科書に載っておるようなワインの知識なんぞ 何ひとつ持ち合わせておらんくせにその鼻や味覚は既に20年のベテラン・テイスターのそれじゃ
It’s elementary wine knowledge. You don’t have a lick of it, but still, that nose and sense of taste is already something like that of a 20 year veteran taster.

え!?じゃ じゃあまさか……//さよう//この二つのワインは同じ「エシェゾー」の畑で穫れた葡萄から造られておる
Miyabi- Eh!? T-Then they’re really……// Robert- Right// These two wines were both made from grapes from the same Echezeaux field.

値段の差こそ倍以上あるが//二つはまさに「兄弟」なんじゃよ
The difference in price is very large but// these two are the same as brothers.

どういうことなんですか?ロベールさん//それはなこのワインの造り手ベルナール・グロのこだわりなんじゃ
Miyabi- How could that be, Robert?// Robert- It’s just a particularity of the maker, Bernard Gros.

さすがはブルゴーニュを代表するワインの名醸造家だった//「ジャン・グロ」の次男坊だけのことはある
He’s not the second son of that famous brewer from Burgundy,// Jean Gros, for nothing.

Page 205

この「村名ワイン」の葡萄が穫れた畑はそもそも特級畑「エシェゾー」の区画なんじゃが//葡萄の木を植え代えてまだ年月が経っていないということを理由に’01年まで格下の「村なワイン」を敢えて名乗らせ出荷しとったんじゃよ
The field where the grapes in this village wine are from was originally the grand cru section for Echezeaux.// But they planted new grape trees and since the trees were still young, until the year ’01 they took it upon themselves to ship the wine from there as a standard village wine.

す すごい//大損だわ……//本物の造り手とはな 儲けを後回しにしてでも納得のいくワインを飲んで欲しいと願うもんなんじゃよ
Miyabi- I-Incredible!// That’s a huge loss……// Robert- A real wine maker is someone who wants people to drink satisfactory wine, even if he has to put off making money.

でも何で若い葡萄の樹だとだめなんだ?
Shizuku- But why would a young grape tree be bad?

ふむ//いろんな理由があるんじゃが
Robert- Hm// There are many reasons but,

ひとつ 挙げるなら若い樹というのはまだ根が深くまで伸びておらんのじゃよ//とどかねえ//ここだよ~//というとは地中の深いところに眠っておる土の力―ミネラルや養分を十分に吸収できないということなんじゃ
for one, a young tree’s roots haven’t reached very deep yet.// Root- Can’t reach// Minerals- Over here~// Robert- So you see they can’t suck in the power of the soil sleeping deep in the earth―the minerals or nutrients.

だからお前は生産年の差もあって「村なワイン」の方が軽いと感じたんじゃろうな//なるほど
That’s also probably why the year difference made you feel the village wine was lighter.// Shizuku- I see.

Page 206

雫よ//は はい
Robert- Shizuku// Shizuku- Y-Yes

よく覚えておけ
Robert- Remember this well.

たった今お前が感じ分けたそれが―
What you felt between the two just now―

「テロワール」じゃ―
That’s terroir.

Page 207

さて謎かけを見事に解いた褒美をくれてやらんとな
Well, I gotta give you a reward for solving the mystery so well.

ほれ//これは?
Take it// Shizuku- This is?

お前たちの望む「1本」じゃよ
The bottle you two desire.

もしアンリ・ジャイエの「クロ・パラントゥー」を送りつけてきた客が本当にワインを理解しておれば//この1本を飲まされて納得しないわけには行くまい さあ持って行け
If the guest who sent over Henri Jayer’s Clos Parantoux really understands wine,// then there’s no reason that person won’t be satisfied with drinking this wine. Now take it and go.

いいんすか……//高いんじゃないの?これも
Shizuku- It’s alright?// Written- Isn’t this expensive too?

わしの気が変わらんうちにさっさと消えろ!!//は はい ありがとうございます
Robert- Scram before I change my mind!!// Shizuku- R-Right Thank you.

揺らすな!!ワインは生き物じゃ!!//は はい わかりました
Robert- Don’t shake it!! Wine’s a living thing!!// Written- Y-Yes. Got it.

ゼーハー ゼーハー
Written- Huff huff

あ~あ 散財じゃ
Robert- G~eez. Throwing away money.

Page 208

ま しかしそれもよかろう
But well, that’s probably fine too.

あのときのチビ助が//大きくなったな……
That little guy//sure got big……

のう 豊多香
Say Yutaka,

お前の葡萄は実ったぞ
your grapes have ripened.

Page 209

あとはどんなワインに化けていくか//見ものじゃのう……
What kind of wine he’ll turn into//sure is something to see……

いらっしゃいませ//ギルマール様
Staff- Welcome// Mr. Guillemard

Page 210

ボンソワール//マダム
Mishima- Bonsoir//Madam

日本語でいいわ壮一郎//すげー美人//ギルマール氏って女だったんだ/どういう関係なんだ?社長と昔なじみって
Anne- Japanese is fine, Soichiro.// Staff- What a woman// Ms. Guillemard was a woman.// How are they related? The president said they use to be close.

Page 211

こうして直接会うのは10年ぶりぐらいかな?//アンヌ
Mishima- It’s been 10 years since we met face to face like this, hasn’t it,// Anne?

15年ぶりよ 私が日本に来るのもね
Anne- It’s been 15. Since I came to Japan last too.

奥へどうぞ 個室を用意してあります
Mishima- There is a private room prepared in the back. Please.

石川副社長 例のワインは?//はい セラーに//確認しよう//こちらでございます
Vice-president Ishiikawa, is the wine ready?// Yes. It’s in the cellar.// Let’s go check on it.// Written- Right this way.

Page 212

何だ二人とも//もう用はないぞ
Mishima-What? You two// have no business here anymore.

代わりのワインなら私が用意した//俺たちも用意しました
If it’s the wine, I have already prepared another.// Shizuku- We have one prepared too.

何?
Mishima- What?

言ったハズだ 神様には代わりはない//ええ わかってますよ
I told you. There’s no replacement for ‘God’s wine’.// Shizuku- Yes. We understand that.

でも見つけたんです
But we found one.

―中身は……//何だ?
Mishima- ―The wine……//What is it?

Page 213

神様の//悪戯です
Shizuku- God’s//trick
