Château Pichon Comtesse de Lalande
Pauillac - 2ème Grand Cru Classé
Description
Famous Pauillac cru, Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande’s Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot vines cover about 100 hectares. – Plot-by-plot vinification follows before the wine to moved to barrels with the help of gravity. Ageing stretches over 18 months and takes place in barrels with the proportion of new wood sitting at 50%. Made with cellaring in mind, the wine possesses elegant tannins and notes of fine wood.
“James Suckling” : Wow. This is really excellent, with superb finesse and focus. It has tight density that is almost diamond-like in its brilliance. Medium to full body, with a quality of tannin that is incredibly seamless. Like silk in texture. A top Pichon Lalande. From organic and biodynamically grown grapes. 80% cabernet sauvignon, 17% merlot and 3% cabernet franc. May be better than 2022.
