Château Lalande-Borie – Saint-Julien – Red – 2015 – 3000 ml:

 

The Borie Family’s Elegant Claret from Saint-Julien

Château Lalande Borie is a distinguished Saint-Julien estate under the direction of the Borie family, famed proprietors of Ducru-Beaucaillou. Situated on prime gravel outcrops, this claret is vinified and matured using the same exacting standards as the family’s greatest growths, offering a wine of exceptional structure and finesse that beautifully reflects its prestigious appellation.

Sommelier’s Tasting Notes

• Colour: Deep, intense ruby, hinting at the wine’s concentration and ageing potential.
• Bouquet: A classic Médoc nose of pure cassis, dark berry fruit, and a refined hint of pencil lead and cedar spice from its French oak ageing.
• Flavour: Muscular yet refined, the palate is layered with rich autumn fruits, mineral notes, and gravelly tannins. It possesses a velvety texture and the characteristic balance of Saint-Julien, ensuring a long and rewarding evolution in the bottle.

Food & Service

This wine requires a robust dish to match its structure. We recommend decanting for up to 90 minutes and serving at 17°C alongside classic British roasts or game dishes. Best enjoyed from 5 years after vintage, though earlier vintages are drinking beautifully now.
