The origins of Chateau Lalande-Borie are very recent: in 1970, Jean Eugène Borie bought a 30 hectare plot in the Saint-Julien appellation, 18 hectares of which belonged to Chateau Lagrange. The Chateau was named after its terroir "Lalande", to which Jean Eugene added his name, the Chateau Lalande-Borie was born.
Today, it is the Jean Eugene Borie company which belongs to Mrs. Borie and her daughter Sabine Coiffe and son Bruno-Eugene, which runs Chateau Lalande-Borie and Chateau Ducru Beaucaillou. It only took Chateau Lalande Borie a couple of years to acquire a great reputation.
Tasting Notes: Deep purple red. Aromas are dominated by blackberries (cherries), a beautiful fruity wine. A very tasty and sappy wine with a nice tannic structure, silky and sensual. Long fruity persistence.
