寶嘉龍二牌特釀 2018 呈現聖朱利安典雅與實力：黑色漿果與深層香料相互呼應，伴隨雪松、石墨與細緻礦感。口感層次分明，中等偏厚的酒體由圓潤卻有骨架的單寧支撐，酸度讓果味更鮮明、尾韻持久。酒莊以嚴格的果實篩選與法國橡木桶熟成，釀造過程追求溫和浸皮與保留果香的平衡，令整體既有收藏潛力又不失當下飲用的誘人風采。田間多為排水良好的礫石土壤，日夜溫差與風土賦予酒款清晰的礦質感與集中度。建議醒酒約一小時，搭配烤牛排、野味或成熟硬質乳酪最合拍。
A refined second-label example from Saint-Julien, this 2018 bottling shows classic Médoc poise: concentrated dark fruit framed by cedar, graphite and warm spice. Medium-plus in body, it delivers polished, velvety tannins and bright mineral-tinged acidity that lift the flavors through a persistent finish. Producer notes emphasize careful selection and oak ageing to preserve elegance and structure. Winemaking favours gentle extraction and a period in French oak to round edges while keeping primary fruit clarity. The vineyards around the estate sit on well-draining gravelly soils, lending freshness and precision to the palate. Decant for about an hour to let the aromatics open; pairs beautifully with roasted or grilled red meats and aged cheeses.
寶嘉龍（Château Ducru-Beaucaillou）是聖朱利安的老牌名莊，近年由 Bruno Borie 掌舵，維持經典功架同時導入細緻的釀造管理。酒莊在葡萄園採用低產量與嚴格篩選，入桶前以溫和手法浸皮，於法國橡木桶熟成以增加結構與香氣層次。其坐落在礫石為主的坡地，排水良好，日夜溫差造就果味集中且帶礦質感的風格；二牌特釀則追求更早可飲、仍兼具產區風格的平衡表現。
Château Ducru-Beaucaillou is a long-established Saint-Julien estate known for producing refined, structured wines. Under the ownership of Bruno Borie the domaine balances tradition with careful modern winemaking: low-yield vineyard management, meticulous sorting, gentle extraction and French oak maturation. The estate's gravelly plots in Saint-Julien deliver wines of precision, depth and aging potential; the 'La Croix' Cuvée Colbert represents a focused second label aimed at accessible finesse while reflecting the estate's terroir.
