Jeb Dunnuck Tasting Note

Made in a more mid-weight, elegant style that certainly brings charm, the 2005 Château Pichon-Longueville Comtesse De Lalande has a pretty perfume of red currants, plums, spring flowers, and spicy, truffly, earthy nuances. With medium-bodied richness, an elegant, seamless mouthfeel, and polished tannins, it’s not a blockbuster but is one of those wines that grows on you over the course of an evening. While today’s releases bring another level of everything, it’s still an outstanding wine that should keep for another decade.

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.
