Tasting note
品飲筆記:這瓶來自碧尚拉的經典表現,成熟的黑色漿果先襲來,隨後出現香料盒與雪松氣息,收尾帶有一絲泥土與礦物感。口感中上至飽滿,果實豐盈但不沉重,單寧已經圓潤,餘韻帶鹹香與乾果味。 酒莊與釀造:碧尚拉女爵擁有悠久傳承,對選果與細節管理一向嚴謹。釀造採重力流作業,溫柔處理果實,發酵後以精準壓榨取得結構性酒液,並於橡木桶陳年約12個月,讓香氣與單寧達到平衡。 葡萄園環境:來自梅多克典型的碎礫丘,土壤排水良好、含礫質與黏土下層,海洋性微氣候幫助保存酸度與鮮明香氣。整體風格典雅且具地塊表現。 飲用建議:建議醒酒約45分鐘以除去沉澱並釋放次級香氣,溫度控制在16–18°C之間最理想。適合配烤牛排、野味或陳年硬質起司,氣氛與滋味都很到位。
Tasting note: Mature Pauillac character — ripe black-fruit layers of blackcurrant and plum give way to a spice-box core and cedar notes, with earthy, graphite hints on the finish. The palate is medium–full, opulent yet refined, showing rounded tannins and a lingering, savoury finish. Producer notes: From Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande, this reserve bottling reflects the estate’s classical approach and emphasis on terroir. Ownership under the Comtesse’s family stewardship maintains strict selection and quality standards. Winemaking notes: Fermented and vinified using a gravity-flow philosophy to protect fruit integrity. After careful extraction the wines were aged for 12 months in oak, blending supple 'free-run' juice with carefully managed press fractions to build structure and complexity. Vineyard notes: Sourced from the gravelly, well-drained rises of the Médoc around Pauillac, where thin soils over clay encourage concentration and balance. A cool maritime-influenced microclimate preserves acidity and aromatic clarity. Cellaring & service: Best served decanted for about 45 minutes to separate any sediment and to reveal secondary aromas. Serve at 16–18°C. Pairs beautifully with grilled or roasted red meats and aged cheeses.
