力關酒莊副牌
Second Wine of Château Lagrange
力關酒莊(Chateau Lagrange)在1855年分級中位列三級莊。Les Fiefs de Lagrange是其副牌酒。
Les Fiefs de Lagrange 的出現始於1983年。採用年輕的葡萄藤（平均樹齡 30 年）生產，包括種植在細礫土上的Cabernet Sauvignon，以及在黏土上的Merlot。
2020年的葡萄細小，果皮蘊含豐富的多酚。Merlot的品質極佳，歷史上的低產量更凸顯其珍貴。在採收Cabernets前先暫緩4日，令單寧和香氣達至完美，它帶來力量、新鮮感，亦帶來悠長的餘韻。

品酒筆記：
(James Suckling's rating: 92 points)
黑果、香料、甘草、黑朱古力、黑橄欖及有些濕土的氣味。酒體中等，在幼細的單寧之下，是多汁的果香。美味又吸引，收結如奶油般柔滑。(適飲期：2023-2040)
Les Fiefs de Lagrange is the second wine of the Château Lagrange, which is classified as a third growth in the 1855 Classification.
Les Fiefs de Lagrange is created in 1983. Produced from young vines (with an average age of 30 years) and planted on fine gravel soils for the Cabernet Sauvignon and clay for certain Merlots.
In 2020, grapes were small, with skins rich in polyphenols. The Merlots are magnificent, boasting an opulence accentuated by the historically low yields. The decision was made to stop for 4 days before picking the Cabernets, to allow the tannins and aromas to develop to perfection : this variety brings power, freshness and length to the wines.

Dark fruits with a spicy character and licorice, dark chocolate and black olives. Some wet earth, too. Medium-bodied, polished and textured with fine-grained tannins and a juicy fruit core underneath. Flavorful and attractive with a creamy finish. (Tasting window: 2023-2040)
