From the first swirl, this 2009 Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande shows a dense, luxurious core of blackcurrant, ripe plum and blackberry layered with sweet spice, tobacco leaf and a subtle savory edge. The palate is powerful yet refined, with concentrated dark fruit wrapped in firm, polished tannins and bright acidity that drive a long, energetic finish. A benchmark, long-lived Pauillac that captures the opulence of the vintage while retaining the château’s hallmark elegance.

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.
