Tasting note

2015年的拉圖二牌是一款精心釀造的葡萄酒，來自波爾多著名的波亞克產區。這款酒的釀造過程與大酒相同，混合比例中含有較高比例的梅洛。葡萄園的葡萄藤平均年齡約為40年，並擁有多樣的風土條件。香氣上，這款酒散發出巧克力包裹的黑加侖、雪茄盒、花朵和煙草葉的香氣。口感中等至飽滿，味道濃郁、堅實、新鮮且多汁。酒體具有奶油般的質地，並帶有甜美、高貴的紅加侖果味餘韻。建議在飲用前醒酒1小時，並搭配烤羊肉、燉牛肉、成熟的奶酪和烤鴨享用。

The 2015 Chateau Latour 'Les Forts de Latour' is a meticulously crafted wine from the renowned Pauillac appellation in Bordeaux. This wine is produced with the same care as the Grand Vin, with a blend that includes a higher proportion of Merlot. The vineyard benefits from a high average age of vines, around 40 years, and diverse terroirs. On the nose, it offers aromas of chocolate-coated currants, cigar box, flowers, and tobacco leaf. The palate is medium to full-bodied, with concentrated, firm, fresh, and juicy flavors. The wine has a creamy texture and a sweet, aristocratic finish packed with red currants. It is recommended to decant for 1 hour before serving and pairs well with grilled lamb, beef stew, mature cheeses, and roasted duck.

Winery

拉圖二牌的釀造過程與大酒相同，無論是在葡萄園還是酒莊中都非常細緻。唯一顯著的區別是使用新橡木桶的比例（50%至60%）在熟成階段。拉圖二牌的混合比例每年可能有所不同，但總是比大酒含有更高比例的梅洛（25%至30%）。

Les Forts de Latour is produced with the same meticulous care as the Grand Vin, both in the vineyard and in the winery. The only notable difference, apart from the origin of the grapes, is the proportion of new barrels (50 to 60%) used in the maturing stage. The blend for Forts de Latour can vary from one year to the next but there is always a higher proportion of Merlot (25 to 30%) compared to the Grand Vin.
