Chateau Lalande, St. Julien, 2008

The famous route des grands vins goes through the heart of the appellation, offering superb views of the Médoc. Château Lalande was once part of Château Lagrange, and was bought by the current owners in 1964. The grapes are both machine-harvested and hand-picked, with careful plot-by-plot vineyard management. This wine undergoes careful temperature-controlled fermentation, and ageing for twelve months in oak barrels. Chateau Lalande offers a beautiful, intense colour, between deep-red and ruby-red, and a very elegant bouquet of black fruit, cedar, and toasty hints. Full-bodied and round on the palate with a generous structure and well-integrated oak. Beautiful long aftertaste with blackcurrant flavours. Fine ageing potential.
