Tasting note

品飲筆記：酒液呈明亮石榴紅，打開杯蓋即有紅醋栗、黑醋栗與櫻桃的清爽果香，伴隨覆盆子與些許草本、香料氣息；呼吸後帶出淡淡煙草與橡木香。入口中等酒體，酸度鮮明帶動口腔，丹寧細緻但有包覆感，結構分明而不生硬，中段圓潤易入口，尾韻耐人尋味。 酒莊與葡園：本款出自位於聖朱利安的傳統酒莊，園地集中在兩座向北與向南的小丘上，118公頃的紅葡萄園分布於礫石與砂礫表土之上，下層含粘土與石灰。海洋性氣候與礫石土壤帶來良好排水與礦物感，種植與照料講究，2021年在乾季與晚熟條件下仍保有平衡的酸度與成熟度。 釀造與陳年：分地塊、不鏽鋼溫控發酵，發酵溫度約26–28°C，發酵期18–25天，採用適度的換漿、踩皮或放渣技術，進行乳酸發酵後以橡木桶陳一年，讓果香與橡木取得平衡。年輕藤齡與嚴格分級選果，使此酒既有即飲的親和力，也保有短中期陳年的潛力。 口感建議：醒香約半小時可更顯果味與香料層次；搭配烤牛排、烤肋排、鹿肉或成熟硬質起司最為合拍。風格優雅、實用又有聖朱利安的地塊特色，適合餐桌常備。

Tasting note: Bright garnet-red in the glass with lively aromas of redcurrant, blackcurrant and ripe cherries, threaded with raspberry and a discreet herbal-savoury note. Secondary nuances of tobacco leaf and gentle oak spice emerge with air. On the palate it is medium-bodied and juicy, supported by fine-grained but firmly coated tannins that give structure without harshness. The mid-palate shows roundness and approachability while the structural backbone promises short- to mid-term ageing. Producer notes: Les Fiefs de Lagrange was created in 1983 as more than a simple second label; it draws from younger parcels averaging around 30 years old, selected on the estate's gravel and clay sites to deliver approachable, terroir-driven wines. Winemaking notes: Parcel-by-parcel vinification in over a hundred temperature-controlled stainless steel vats, fermented at 26–28°C for 18–25 days with moderate pump-overs, pigeage or delestage as needed. Malolactic fermentation is achieved by co-inoculation. The wine is matured in oak for approximately 12 months, balancing freshness and subtle oak influence. Vineyard notes & vintage: The estate sits entirely within Saint-Julien across two small hills, with pebbly, gravelly topsoils over clay and limestone subsoils and a temperate oceanic climate. In 2021 careful canopy work and a delayed, selective harvest delivered concentrated fruit with good acidity despite a dry season; ripe phenolics and refined tannins were the reward. Serve slightly chilled after a short decant to reveal its fruit and savory layers. Drinking window: 2023–2035.
