"Odedi"

9.2

Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.

Very fresh nose right out of the bottle with red fruits, wood and chocolate notes.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with cherries, currants, light wood, spices, coffee, earth, dark chocolates, tobacco leaf, herbs, peppercorn, licorice and black tea.

Long finish with round tannins and tangy cherries.

This 10 year old Cabernet Sauvignon based blend is drinking beautifully now. Elegant and rich. Fruit forward and complex.

This Second Wine from this 3rd growth winery is delicious. Nicely balanced with a nice mouthfeel. Soft, spicy and entertaining.

Feels young, and will continue to age nicely in the next 5 to 7 years.

Needs a couple of hours to open up properly, but good right out of the bottle too.

A blend of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 41% Merlot and 4% Petit Verdot. Aged for 13 months in (20% new) French Oak barrels.

13% alcohol by volume.

92 points.

This is the white grown and made by Chateau Lagrange in Saint Julien, though it qualifies only for the lowly Bordeaux AOC. It’s got a lot of character. Nose starts out quite grassy, but with air the buttery, lanolin character of the Semillon comes out a bit more. A bit of nicely-judged toast from the oak and some wet river rocks. In the mouth it’s got nice flavor density and beautiful balance. Nicely put together wine. Seems like it will improve over the next few years. — 2 years ago

The description: Clear, light with golden tints. A delicate fine mousee, with a fresh, liveliness and aromas of peach, apricot, and flowers. Discreet yet complex, a very original sparkling wine of Semillon. The opinion: Accurate. Also it’s very good, surprisingly good! — a year ago

Vintage 2009 | classic Bordeaux at its best. Chocolate and black fruit, cedar. Very complete taste with spicyness. We compared this blind next to Lagrange 09, Leoville showing male power, Lagrange a bit further forward with female playfulness. Long aftertaste. Paired with venisonnpaté with foie gras and figs. — 3 years ago

Well stored bottle, No problems whatsoever Dark web info, Chateau Lalande Borie is a relatively new estate in the Medoc. The vineyard was initially created when the Borie family purchased 18 hectares of vines from Chateau Lagrange in 1970. To that, they added 12 more hectares of vines from various other growers, some of which needed planting.

Things changed with the 2018 vintage when the estate was renamed Le Petit Ducru.

Chateau Lalande Borie Vineyards, Terroir, Grapes, Winemaking

The 25-hectare, Left Bank vineyard is planted to 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot, and 10% Cabernet Franc. The vineyard has a terroir of gravel and clay soils. The clay in the soil is part of the reason that today, you find more Merlot in the vineyard. Previously the Cabernet Sauvignon occupied 65% of the vineyard makeup.

The vineyard is well placed in the western part of the St. Julien appellation. It is situated inland, not too far from Chateau Lagrange, Chateau Talbot, and Chateau Gruaud Larose. The vineyard is planted to a vine density of 8,500 vines per hectare.
