Sommelier's Notes

Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande, commonly known as Pichon Lalande or Pichon Comtesse, is one of Pauillac’s celebrated Second Growth estates. I

ts history is intertwined with neighbouring Pichon Baron: the two properties once formed a single estate before their division in 1850.

Often described as a “Super Second”, Pichon Lalande combines its formal classification with an enduring reputation for quality. Maison Louis Roederer acquired the property in 2007.

The 2016 brings together Cabernet Sauvignon structure and the estate’s graceful texture.

Floral fragrance, concentrated black fruit and finely shaped tannins make it a compelling choice for collectors who enjoy powerful Bordeaux with elegance. It matured for 18 months in oak barrels, including 60% new oak.

A cold, wet spring was followed by a long, dry summer and sunny conditions through September and October. This extended ripening season helped produce a wine with depth, freshness and considerable ageing potential.

Specifications

Deep garnet-purple, with an intense core of colour and the beginnings of garnet tones as the wine develops in bottle.

Ripe blackcurrant, blackberry, dark plum and cherry, layered with violet, cedar, pencil shavings, tobacco, black tea and hints of dark chocolate and spice.

Medium- to full-bodied in impression, with juicy dark fruit, fresh acidity and fine, silky tannins. Cabernet Sauvignon brings structure and graphite-like savouriness, while Merlot adds a supple texture. The finish is balanced by a firm, gently grippy backbone.

16–18°C.

Serve in a large Bordeaux glass. Open approximately 1 hour before serving, or decant for 1–2 hours to allow the dark fruit and savoury aromas to unfold; taste periodically and adjust aeration to the wine’s condition.
