From the first nose, Chateau Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande 2000 feels both sumptuous and serious, layering blackcurrant and dark plum with roasted coffee, cocoa and a faint, savory edge from its unusually generous dose of Petit Verdot. On the palate it’s plush yet firmly structured, with velvety tannins carrying concentrated cassis, mineral lift and gentle spice into a very long, persistent finish that shows why this vintage is so admired. Open now, it has the depth and energy to keep evolving gracefully for many more years.

Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande is a famed Pauillac Second Growth whose grand vin blends predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon with Merlot and small amounts of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, crafted from gravel-over-clay parcels straddling the border of Pauillac and Saint-Julien. Known for uniting Pauillac’s classic cedar, graphite and blackcurrant profile with an unusually sensual, polished texture, it produces full-bodied yet refined wines capable of graceful, decades-long aging.
