Blackcurrant and blackberry glide through this Pauillac in a cool, pure line, framed by graphite, gentle smoke and a lift of red fruit that keeps it poised rather than powerful. Chateau Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande 2017 feels elegant and composed, with silky tannins and bright acidity giving a refined, long and quietly confident finish that reflects the vintage’s finesse more than sheer muscle.

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.
