| Despite the challenges of the 2017 vintage, Château Lalande crafted a wine that showcases the classic Saint-Julien character—refined, structured, and age-worthy. The relatively equal blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot lends the wine both depth and silkiness, with Cabernet providing backbone and Merlot adding lush fruitiness. |
