Wine Spectator Tasting Note

This has pronounced bay and cassis bush aromas that impart lots of peppery and herbaceous lift, but this is hardly on the lean side as there's a well of gorgeously pure currant and blackberry fruit notes at the core. The finish is sleek and glistening as an iron note takes over. (JM)

About the Producer

Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande, a prestigious Second Cru Classé of Pauillac, is a name that resonates with elegance. The estate’s history is intimately linked to the figure of Comtesse Virginie de Lalande, whose influence still leaves its mark on the wines today. Now owned by the Louis Roederer house, this Pauillac Grand Cru continues its constant quest for excellence. The wines of Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande are distinguished by a style that is both refined and accessible, a singular interpretation of its terroir. Merlot, the dominant grape variety, provides a silky texture and vibrant fruitiness, contributing to the wines' immediate charm and aging potential. In addition to the famous grand vin Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande, the estate produces La Réserve de la Comtesse, a second wine that elegantly expresses the richness of the Pauillac appellation. Legend has it that the Comtesse, attached to her roots, had English roses planted in the château's gardens, adding a touch of romance to this exceptional place. The estate crafts wines within the Deuxièmes Crus appellation, extending its signature with consistency.
