Chateau Lalande 2020 Ch Lalande St Julien

Chteau Lalande is located along the Gironde estuary in the village of Saint-Julien-Beychevelle, adjoining both Chteau Talbot (4th growth) and Chteau Lagrange (3rd growth), and facing Chteau DucruBeucillou (2nd growth). This is one of the rare, small, non-classified estates in the St. Julien appellation (which is dominated by classified growths) that has not yet been snatched up by one of its renowned neighbors.Llnde is characterized by its exceptional terroir. This 15.5 hectares (38 acre) vineyard is in one unbroken, continuous parcel of land that is of classified growth provenance. It was acquired from ChateaumLagrange in 1964 by Gabriel Meffre, a Rhone Valley producer. The Meffre family purchased Chteau du Glana in 1961; Glanas vineyards also came from Lagrange and from Chteau Pierre. Chteau Lalande and Chteau du Glana, both located on the famous D2 Classified Growth Wine Route, are separate estates, but share the same winemaking facility since 2010. Grandsons Ludovic and Julien Meffre manage both estates and completed an ambitious renovation of the winemaking facilities, aging cellars and tasting room. Lalande is producing an exceptional elegant and refined wine, that is still available at affordable prices. It is an incredible discovery and Aquitaine Wine is exclusive for this estate bottled wine for the entire USA.
