Pessac-Leognan 位於波爾多西南方,有別於Medoc, 是個紅白酒都有生產的區域。紅以Cabernet Sauvginon 和 Merlot 為主,白酒就係Semillon。Pessac-Leognan 亦係唯一不在Medoc 的5⃣大酒莊Chateau Haut Brion 的所在地,Haut Brion 走濃郁風格,成為第一個最早成名的五大酒莊。但其實吾一定要飲到該區最貴先領略倒佢的風土特色 Haut Largange 2004 在小橡木桶存放20個月讓味道更複雜,厚實甜美的丹寧,煙燻,木質的香氣都係Pessac-Leognan 的標準特色,木炭和豐富的甜紅莓口感,展現飽滿的酒體。
【Robert Parker 90分】
The 2014 Haut Lagrange has a rather broody and yet still attractive bouquet: blackberry, bilberry, touches of sous-bois and tobacco, all well defined and neatly integrated with the oak. The palate is medium-bodied with a smooth entry, plenty of tart black cherry and cassis fruit, an energetic Pessac-Léognan with a skip in its step on the finish. I would give this another year in bottle and then it has the substance to drink well for a decade. This comes recommended.
