Starting with this 2018 release, the Borie family has merged Chateau Lalande-Borie into their prestigious Chateau Ducru Beaucaillou. It is now the third wine of this famous estate, bottled under the "Le Petit Ducru" name.
James Suckling: 93 Points
(1/18/2021) "Blackberry and blueberry aromas with black licorice and dark violets that follow to a medium to full body with ultra fine tannins and a pretty finish. Very fine texture. Drink after 2024."
Decanter: 91 Points
(11/9/2020) "Attractive, bright and bristling fruit, from grapes that were small and concentrated after a particularly dry summer in St-Julien, with rain at the right time in September. Things have been well-handled over ageing and this is rippling with life and succulent acidity. Previously known as Lalande-Borie. A yield of 35hl/ha. Drinking Window: 2023 - 2038."
