Vintage 2009 | classic Bordeaux at its best. Chocolate and black fruit, cedar. Very complete taste with spicyness. We compared this blind next to Lagrange 09, Leoville showing male power, Lagrange a bit further forward with female playfulness. Long aftertaste. Paired with venisonnpaté with foie gras and figs. — 2 years ago
What a wild ride it was tasting this for the first hour. In the end it was a great wine, in balance and full of fruit. Lacked some magic. — 24 days ago
The description: Clear, light with golden tints. A delicate fine mousee, with a fresh, liveliness and aromas of peach, apricot, and flowers. Discreet yet complex, a very original sparkling wine of Semillon. The opinion: Accurate. Also it’s very good, surprisingly good! — a year ago
This is the white grown and made by Chateau Lagrange in Saint Julien, though it qualifies only for the lowly Bordeaux AOC. It’s got a lot of character. Nose starts out quite grassy, but with air the buttery, lanolin character of the Semillon comes out a bit more. A bit of nicely-judged toast from the oak and some wet river rocks. In the mouth it’s got nice flavor density and beautiful balance. Nicely put together wine. Seems like it will improve over the next few years. — 2 years ago

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.
