Tasting note

2005 年的力關是典型的聖朱利安風格：深沉的色澤伴隨複雜的香氣，黑櫻桃與黑莓為基底，松露、雪松與甘草氣息交織，並有微涼的薄荷/麝香尾韻。入口豐滿有力，前段生動，接著中段柔和圓潤但仍保有明快的酸度與結構感，單寧緊實而細緻，餘韻悠長。酒莊坐落於同一片 118 公頃的連綿山地，土壤以礫石、沙礫覆蓋在黏土與石灰岩上，海洋性氣候賦予酒款鮮明的礦質與平衡感。釀造上採分地塊發酵、恆溫不銹鋼槽與適度浸皮手法，21 個月的桶陳（60% 新橡木）與蛋白澄清使結構更為穩定。建議醒酒約一小時，搭配烤紅肉、熟成乳酪或風味濃郁的炖菜最合拍。風格優雅但仍需耐心，是能夠繼續發展的經典酒款。

2005 Château Lagrange delivers a classic Saint-Julien expression: dense colour and concentrated aromas with truffle and cedar giving way to black cherry, cassis and warm spice. The palate is rich and vibrant on the attack, then broadens into a suave mid‑palate with vivid freshness and tightly grained tannins. Made from a traditional Bordeaux assemblage from the estate’s single 118‑hectare block, the wine was harvested by hand (21 Sept–10 Oct) and vinified plot by plot in temperature‑controlled stainless tanks (26–28°C) with moderate pump‑overs, delestage or pigeage. Aged 21 months with 60% new oak and fined with fresh egg whites, it shows impressive concentration and long‑term potential while retaining the poise and mineral signature of its pebbly, clay‑limestone soils. Treat to a 60–90 minute decant to open the aromatic spectrum; pairs superbly with grilled or roasted red meats and mature cheeses.

Winery

力關酒莊位於聖朱利安，整體葡萄園成片約 118 公頃，分佈在兩座朝向南北的坡地上。酒莊結合傳統左岸工法與現代管理，注重分地塊栽培與手工採收，每一批果實分槽發酵，長時間桶陳以求結構與複雜度。石礫覆蓋的土壤與海洋性氣候帶來礦質感與耐陳特性，是波爾多古典風格的代表。

Château Lagrange is a historic Médoc estate in Saint‑Julien occupying a single 118‑hectare block split over two north/south‑facing hills. Under current ownership it combines traditional Left Bank wine‑making with meticulous vineyard management: handharvested fruit, plot‑by‑plot vinification, and extended barrel maturation. The estate’s pebble‑studded soils over clay and limestone give wines a mineral backbone and classic longevity.
