The 2016 Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande is a poised, Cabernet-driven Pauillac showing intense cassis and blackberry layered with graphite, tobacco leaf, and hints of violet and spice. The palate is medium to full-bodied yet wonderfully refined, with superfine, flowing tannins and a long, mineral-inflected finish that already thrills but clearly promises even greater complexity with time. A benchmark, combining power, precision and silken texture in one of this estate’s most complete modern vintages.

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.
