| Weather Conditions | 2015 appears to have been the warmest and sunniest year in the whole of France, since meteorological statistics began. A long period of hot, dry weather led to excellent flowering until the miraculous rains of August. Thanks to this beneficial rain, the plant was able to bring its grapes to full maturity. ripen. The harvest got under way in September, when the weather was fine and sunny. Thanks to this ideal weather, we were able to wait calmly for the optimum ripeness for all the grape varieties. All the conditions were in place to ensure that 2015 would be one of the great Bordeaux vintages. |

品酒笔记
Le Dragon has a lovely vermilion colour. The nose is initially fresh, with hints of cherry and raspberry then a riper character emerges on swirling, leaving a very pleasant impression. The attack on the palate is supple and rather tender. Then the wine evolves on the palate with fairly well-coated tannins, which are quite well integrated at this stage. The palate, though averagely long, is mouth-watering and leaves a fine sensation of balance.
