Tasting note
品飲印象:這支1983年的碧尚拉龍女爵保有古典波爾多的沉穩氣質。杯中先以成熟黑果為主軸,逐漸展開雪松、皮革與菸草的陳年香氣,輔以乾果、黑巧克力和焦糖的微甜餘韻。口感圓潤柔和,酒體中等偏厚,單寧已被時間磨得細緻但仍有結構感,酸度支撐整體的鮮活度,尾韻帶礦物感且延伸良久。 酒莊與田地:碧尚拉龍女爵為二級列級名莊,酒莊長期重視園藝管理與細緻的釀造工藝。梅多克地區以沙礫覆蓋的砂礫丘為主,下面是粘土底層,排水良好又有海灣帶來的溫和小氣候,讓葡樹在受控壓力下累積濃縮風味,造就此地酒款的經典骨架與陳年潛力。 釀造重點:酒廠採用重力式作業,從採收到入桶皆以重力流動減少機械壓迫。發酵後先分離無壓汁,再以精準壓榨取得壓榨酒款,經嚴格評選後在法國橡木桶中熟成,橡木提供香料與結構但不搶走細緻口感。 飲用建議:已有四十多年的陳年表現,建議輕柔醒酒30–60分鐘以去除沉澱並讓香氣開放,飲用溫度約16–18°C。 搭配建議:適合搭配油脂豐富的紅肉,如肋眼、燒烤牛排、烤鹿肉,或成熟的硬質起司,能與酒的陳年風味互相呼應。
Tasting note: A classical mature Pauillac showing essential old-vine depth. Aromas of ripe black fruit gently shaded by cedar, leather and tobacco; secondary notes of dried prune, dark chocolate and warm caramel emerge with time in glass. On the palate it is elegant and supple — medium-full bodied with softened, refined tannins, a steady acidity that keeps the wine lively, and a long, mineral-tinged finish. Producer notes: From the distinguished Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande (2ème Grand Cru Classé), this vintage reflects the estate’s long commitment to balance and finesse. Ownership under the Lencquesaing family has emphasized meticulous vineyard management and classical élevage. Winemaking notes: Grapes were handled with a gravity-flow approach from reception to barrel; free-run wine separated from press fractions and blended after careful selection. French oak maturation adds structure and subtle spice while preserving the wine’s silky texture. Vineyard notes: The Médoc’s well-drained gravelly rises above clay subsoil give vines stress that concentrates fruit while the nearby estuary moderates the microclimate. The site produces wines with classic Pauillac structure and age-worthy tannins. Service: Because of its age and delicate tertiary character, gently decant 30–60 minutes to separate any sediment and let aromas open. Serve at 16–18°C. Pairing: Best with richly flavoured red meats—grilled or roast beef, ribeye, venison—or with mature hard cheeses.
