Château Lalande-Borie: Tasting & Drinking
The vineyards of Château Lalande-Borie sit to the west of Château Ducru-Beaucaillou, and although this is only a very short distance the fact this estate is not situated on the very water’s edge does have an impact on the character and quality of the wines. From that point of view it seems appropriate that Jean-Eugène Borie took the decision to manage the estate as a separate entity. Indeed, today Bruno Borie takes this one step further at Château Ducru-Beaucaillou, the second wine La Croix Ducru-Beaucaillou having also evolved into a sélection parcellaire, from vines at the western end of the estate again. This leaves the very best parcels, near the water, for the Château Ducru-Beaucaillou grand vin.
