Reviews

James Suckling 93-94

Notes of dark fruit, orange peel and crushed stones. Medium-bodied and juicy with crunchy and velvety tannins and a polished finish. Supple and lingering.

by JS, James Suckling , 2023

Wine Spectator 90

A solid, dark, winey offering, with blackberry and black currant reduction notes cloaked in licorice root and roasted alder. Keeps a fleshy feel, with a twinge of pleasant rusticity through the finish.

Technical Details

Description

Lalande is producing an exceptional elegant and refined wine, that is still available at affordable prices for the consumer. The vineyard is 15.5 hectares (38 acres) in size planted mostly on gravely soil with low yields. After harvest from mid-September to mid-October, the wine is vinified in separate vats and undergoes cold maceration for 5 days to maximize color and to soften the tannins . The alcoholic fermentation lasts for 10 days and 50% of the wine undergoes malolactic fermentation in barrels. Finally, the wine ages 12 months in 40% new French oak before being bottled. Estate grown and bottled. Sustainable practices.

Tasting notes

Bright, intense ruby color. Elegant nose of crushed red black berry fruit, spices and a hint of vanilla. Rich and round in the mouth with a touch of freshness. Soft well-integrated tannins and a long finish.
