Tasting note

品飲筆記：這款二牌酒展現出成熟的黑果香，夾帶核果的溫暖、核桃的堅果香與細緻香料感，還有一抹紫羅蘭花香與略帶石墨質感的單寧，整體偏經典、帶點鹹香感。口感中等酒體，單寧柔順但有支撐，果酸活潑使收尾多汁且持續。 酒莊背景：拉拉貢在Haut-Médoc有穩定的傳統窪地與礫石土壤，現由Caroline Frey掌舵，強調在地管理與友善栽培。二牌定位是把莊園風格做得更快熟、更貼近餐桌。 釀造與田間：2017 年透過謹慎採收與輕柔萃取，保留果實新鮮與香氣，陳年以低調橡木襯托香料，而非蓋過本身風格。葡萄園位於鵝卵石與礫石土壤，受海洋影響，白天與夜間溫差幫助果酸保留，整體管理注重平衡與成熟度。 飲用建議：建議醒酒約45分鐘，杯溫控制在16–18°C，立即飲用或於未來數年內享用皆宜。推薦搭配牛排、烤牛肋或帶有油脂的紅肉與成熟乳酪，提升風味層次。

Tasting note: Polished and approachable, this second wine shows ripe dark berries layered with toasted walnut and warm spice. Aromas of violet and a graphite-tinged tannic note give it a classic, savory Bordeaux character. On the palate it is medium-bodied with supple, well-integrated tannins and a juicy, persistent finish. Producer notes: From Chateau La Lagune in the Haut-Médoc, managed under Caroline Frey, this cuvée benefits from careful vineyard work and organic practices noted for the 2017 vintage. It’s designed to offer the estate’s signature structure in a more immediate, friendly package. Winemaking notes: Gentle extraction and careful aging preserve freshness while allowing ripe savory notes to develop. The wine displays modest oak influence, integrated spice, and restrained texture rather than overt power. Vineyard notes: Vineyard sites on classic Medoc gravels with maritime influence contribute lifted aromatics and firm, mineral-tinged backbone. Soils and canopy management in 2017 promoted ripe fruit with balanced acidity. Service & cellaring: Best enjoyed now through the medium term. Decant about 45 minutes to open up aromatics and soften the graphite edges. Serve slightly below room temperature (16–18°C). Pairing: Matches well with beef-based mains, roast or char-grilled cuts and mature hard cheeses.
