2014 Château Lalande-Borie Saint-Julien

WE 92 Wine Enthusiast
The wine is dense with great fruit and accompanying structure. With its dark ripe berry fruits and full tannins, the wine is powerful although with great elegance. It is stylish, full of complexity ready to age well. Drink from 2024.

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.
