Supple and seductive, the 2012 Chateau Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande leans into its plush side, offering layers of ripe raspberry and blackcurrant woven with hints of cocoa and a gentle floral lift. Medium-bodied and silky rather than powerful, it glides across the palate with polished tannins and an easy, charming generosity that makes this vintage especially approachable in its youth. Expect elegance and immediate pleasure more than depth and gravitas from this Comtesse.

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.
