Well stored bottle, No problems whatsoever Dark web info, Chateau Lalande Borie is a relatively new estate in the Medoc. The vineyard was initially created when the Borie family purchased 18 hectares of vines from Chateau Lagrange in 1970. To that, they added 12 more hectares of vines from various other growers, some of which needed planting.

Things changed with the 2018 vintage when the estate was renamed Le Petit Ducru.

Chateau Lalande Borie Vineyards, Terroir, Grapes, Winemaking

The 25-hectare, Left Bank vineyard is planted to 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot, and 10% Cabernet Franc. The vineyard has a terroir of gravel and clay soils. The clay in the soil is part of the reason that today, you find more Merlot in the vineyard. Previously the Cabernet Sauvignon occupied 65% of the vineyard makeup.

The vineyard is well placed in the western part of the St. Julien appellation. It is situated inland, not too far from Chateau Lagrange, Chateau Talbot, and Chateau Gruaud Larose. The vineyard is planted to a vine density of 8,500 vines per hectare.

Nicely developed nose and palate. Cassis, leather, stewed cherries, raspberry with vanilla and anise. Soft, silky tannins. At its pinacle. — 4 months ago

Similar profile to the Gruaud Larose where the 86 is my favorite vintage for this wine showing black & red fruits, cedar, leather, savory spice & tobacco. I liked the freshness & acidity of this. — 3 months ago

Really nice. PnP. Lovely texture. Dark fruit with subtle hints of earth and cedar. Surprisingly more like a new world blend than Bordeaux. I enjoyed it. — 9 months ago
