Chateau Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande 2021 channels its unusually high Cabernet Sauvignon into a poised, intense Pauillac, layering cool blackcurrant and wild berry fruit with iris, rose, cocoa, clove and cedar spice. The palate is medium to full in feel yet strikingly refined, with ultra-fine, persistent tannins, a mouthwatering line of acidity and a lingering finish shaped by graphite, savoury herb notes and a gentle saline twist. A serious, classically styled Comtesse that combines depth with remarkable elegance at just under 13% alcohol.

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.
