Chateau Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande 2010 marries deep, pure blackcurrant and blueberry fruit with hints of graphite, dark olive, truffle and subtle floral notes, all wrapped in a cloak of finely polished but authoritative tannins. The palate is powerful yet seamlessly textured, with vibrant acidity and a long, refined finish that shows this more Cabernet-driven, structured side of Comtesse at its most precise and ageworthy.

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.
