Solid wine for the vintage, exhibiting lovely aromas of mocha and berries. Full-bodied, with sweet berry and milk chocolate character. Impressive, considering the rain that fell during the harvest. Drink now.--Pichon-Lalande vertical. ?JS

A delicious, yet chunky, four square sort of wine, the 1964 Pichon Lalande continues to evolve in the bottle. It exhibits an appealing black currant and herb-scented, earthy, spicy, almost Graves-like bouquet. In the mouth, the wine has soft, nicely endowed, ripe flavors that have reached full maturity. Anticipated maturity: Now. Last tasted, 3/88.
Producer
Château Pichon-Longueville Comtesse de Lalande
This exemplarily Pauillac estate, Château Pichon-Longueville Comtesse de Lalande, produces some of the best Second Growth Bordeaux wines. Known for its rich, elegant, and perfumed wines, the château’s history can be traced back to the 17th century. In 2007, Pichon-Longueville was sold to the family-run Roederer Champagne House. The property was completely redone recently; building new vinification facilities, including the renovation of their cellars, vat rooms and chais, as well as replanting select vineyards, and modernizing their reception area, museum, and château. The improvements, along with estate manager, Nicolas Glumineau’s commitment to maintain Pichon-Longueville’s already high standards, have kept this Left Bank property preforming at its best. With vineyards bordering the Saint-Julien appellation, Pichon-Longueville’s wines are the most exotic and voluptuously scented in the Médoc. The Grand Vin is an elegant Pauillac due to its relatively high proportion of Merlot.
