Reservation required, limit 20 people We all know the concept of ‘ain’t dere no more’ in New Orleans and we’re leaning into it for this tasting. We will feature two wines that are no longer being produced, one of which will be a five vintage vertical! The other will also have the current wine being produced from the same vineyard. Château Lalande-Borie in Saint-Julien has been part of the Ducru-Beaucaillou lineup since 1970 when the Borie family purchased 18 hectares of vines from Château Lagrange. They added some land to this over the years and used the Château as a place to experiment with various techniques before putting those practices into place at Ducru-Beaucaillou. 2018 was the last vintage under the Lalande-Borie label but the wine continues on as Le Petit Ducru de Ducru-Beaucaillou. We will taste the 2020 vintage of that wine along with the 2014 Lalande-Borie. The main event here is the five vintage vertical of Les Grandes Murailles in St-Emilion. We bought a little of this a few years ago and fell in love with the wine. We bought a case of each vintage that was available on our last order from France and are happy to be able to share the wines before they disappear forever. Sophie Fourcade managed the estate, and its tiny 1.46ha vineyard, until it was purchased and annexed by neighbor Château Clos Fourtet. Her last vintage was 2021. The vineyard is planted to 100% Merlot with 7,500 vines per hectare – a very high density – which leads to more complex and interesting wines. We will taste her 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2019 vintages.
