Pichon Longueville Comtesse Lalande 1970 150cl

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.
