The
unique encepagement and the twelve hectares of vines situated
on the soils of St Julien endow the wines of Château Pichon
Longueville Comtesse de Lalande with an exceptional personality
compared with the other crus of the Pauillac appellation. Complexity,
elegance and longevity are the hallmarks of this race, they are
found every year during the creation of the vintages..
The nose is distinguished by a bouquet of aromas, mixing blackcurrant
and violet, vanilla and cinnamon. In the palate, the tannins appear
mature and melted, revealing a strong and affirmed structure,
a surprising suppleness, perfect harmony and long persistency.
The wine is seductive when young without prejudicing its longevity.
James Laubé of the Wine Spectator baptised Château
Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande, "A First Class Second
Cru", a most fitting tribute...
