Tasting note
碧尚男爵二牌以純粹、直接的風格見長,來自靠近吉倫特河口的礫石地塊,土壤為酒款注入了清晰的礦物感與緊緻結構。2023 年份展現黑果與莓果的鮮明果香,帶有黑巧克力、咖啡與一絲灰礦氣息。口感扎實而彈性十足,酸度清爽帶動整體節奏,單寧細緻但有抓力,餘韻長而乾淨。酒廠以法國橡木桶陳年 15 個月(半數新桶),讓香料與微微烘烤味與果味融合。建議開瓶前醒酒約一小時,更能釋放風味;既可即飲也適合窖藏提升層次。
Les Griffons de Pichon Baron is the energetic second wine from Château Pichon-Longueville Baron, showing a pure, direct character drawn from gravelly plots near the Gironde estuary. The 2023 delivers vibrant dark fruit and cassis layers with notes of dark chocolate, espresso and a graphite-like minerality. Texturally it is medium-full, lively and chewy with refined tannins supported by bright acidity. Aged for 15 months in French oak (50% new), the oak integration brings spice and subtle toasty warmth without overwhelming the fruit. Drink now with short decanting for immediate pleasure or cellar for more complexity over 10–15 years.
