Tasting note

帶著波雅克典型的石礫礦感與深沉黑果香，2009 年的 Echo de Lynch Bages 嗅覺上有濃郁的黑莓、微酸的野林果與些許可可、香草與煙草氣息。入口質地結實但圓潤，單寧成熟有抓力，酸度帶動整體節奏，餘韻悠長且帶有細微鐵質感，喝來既順口又具層次。 釀造面向很有講究：人工採收並在園內分小地塊精準選摘（採用了衛星影像協助分區採收），採收期為9月28日至10月12日。葡萄園坐落在加龍河沖積砾石土壤上，酒液於法國橡木桶陳年12個月（多為一年前使用過的舊桶），強調果實與木香的和諧。總產量約佔該園收成的26%，是酒莊二號酒卻延續了本莊的結構感與風格。 建議醒酒約一小時，搭配烤紅肉、燒汁牛排或成熟乳酪都很合適，喝時可注意從果香到礦味的層層變化。

This Echo de Lynch Bages 2009 carries the Pauillac signature: concentrated dark fruit framed by a disciplined mineral backbone and cedar-tinged oak. The colour is deep; aromatics open on black and forest fruits with hints of cocoa, dried herb and a tobacco-scented savoury note. On the palate it shows good structure and ripe, expressive tannins that remain polished rather than aggressive—smooth and powerful with a long, iron-tinged finish. The wine began with hand-harvested grapes (28 Sept–12 Oct) and benefited from intra-plot selection aided by satellite imagery, allowing picking at optimal ripeness across small vineyard sections. Soils are classic Garonne gravel and the wine was matured twelve months in French oak barrels previously used for one vintage. Production represented roughly a quarter of the crop, reflecting its role as the estate’s second wine given a clearly defined identity from 2008 onwards. A confident, food-friendly Pauillac: decant for about an hour to let the aromas expand and serve with grilled or roasted red meats and mature cheeses.

Winery

Lynch-Bages 為波雅克著名莊園，長期以結構分明、經典風格的酒款聞名。由卡茲（Cazes）家族經營，近代由 André Cazes 帶領形成今天的面貌。2008 年起將二號酒命名為 Echo de Lynch-Bages，強調獨立風格與穩定品質。莊園重視田間分區管理與精細釀造，橡木桶熟成為其特色之一。

Château Lynch-Bages is a well-known Pauillac estate historically associated with structured, classically-styled wines. Owned and managed by the Cazes family (André Cazes played a key role in the estate’s modern era), the property produced this second wine under the Echo de Lynch-Bages name from 2008 to give the former second wine a distinct identity. The estate emphasises careful vineyard selection and traditional élevage in French oak.
