Chateau Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande 2005 shows deep, polished Pauillac power, layering ripe cassis and blueberry fruit with cedar, tobacco leaf, spice and a gentle floral lift. The palate is concentrated yet poised, with firm, fine tannins and impressive length that promises further complexity with time in bottle.

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.
