Tasting note
品飲筆記:2014 年的女爵二牌展現出成熟黑果與醬果的魅力,夾帶紫羅蘭花香、細緻雪松與一絲煙燻與煙草香。口感圓潤滑順,酸度清爽帶動整體節奏,丹寧細緻但有支撐感,尾韻帶點海鹽般的鮮味,餘韻持久。 釀造工藝:酒莊採用重力流操控,從採收到入桶盡量溫柔處理,先放酵母自然分離出「free run」再以精密壓榨取出壓榨酒,最後混調以取得最佳平衡。約以橡木桶熟成約12個月,帶來溫和香草與烘烤感而不搶果味。 葡萄園與風土:來自梅多克的礫石小丘,下面為黏土層,排水良好、土壤貧瘠促進根系深扎,靠近加倫河口的海洋影響讓成熟更均衡。簡單說,就是那種經典波爾多風土:嚴謹、有層次但不失優雅。 建議飲法:醒酒一小時左右讓香氣打開,配牛排、烤肉或成熟乳酪最對味。
Tasting Note: The 2014 Pichon Comtesse Reserve opens with concentrated blackcurrant and cassis, hints of plum and floral violet, and undercurrents of cedar, tobacco and graphite. On the palate it is medium–full with a polished, velvety texture, bright acidity and well-integrated oak that leads to a saline, persistent finish. Producer & Winemaking: From the prestigious Pauillac estate, this Reserve benefits from a gravity-flow approach from reception to barrel. Free-run and carefully pressed wines are blended to balance the roundness of the press wines with the silkier fermentation extracts. Ageing was completed in oak for about 12 months, giving refined spice and gentle smoky notes without overwhelming the fruit. Vineyard & Terroir: Sourced from gravelly Médoc rises over clay, vines enjoy excellent drainage and the moderating influence of the Gironde estuary. The microclimate and poor, stony soils concentrate ripeness and aromatic precision, delivering a Pauillac that is structured yet approachable in its youth. Serving: Decant for 60–90 minutes and serve at 16–18°C. Pairs beautifully with grilled ribeye, roast lamb, game and mature cheeses.
