18 Rene Gabriel
58 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 36 % Merlot, 4 % Petit Verdot, 2 % Cabernet Franc. Intensives Granat-Rubin. Traumhaft süsses Bouquet, rote, reife Dammassinepflaumen, ein Hauch Kokos und Pralinen, wirkt erstaunlich fett, im Innern die typische Pichon-Lalande-Pfefferschotennote zeigend. Saftiger Gaumen mit einer seidigen, sehr eleganten Textur, innen fein pfeffrig mit einer gewissen Pikanz, klingt aromatisch nach und zeigt dort viel blaue Beeren und florale, frische Noten. Ein eher leicht wirkender, aber sehr, eleganter Pauillac. Der Kellermeister Dô Chi Nam vergleicht diesen Jahrgang mit dem Pichon Lalande 1978. Was vom Vegetationsvergleich und der ebenfalls festgestellten, feinen grünen Cabernetnote Sinn macht. (18/20). 12: Dunkles Granat, recht satt in der Mitte, rubiner Rand. Herrliches Bouquet, rotes Cassis, etwas Caramel, deutliche Röstnoten, welche aber halt zu diesem Jahrgang irgendwie passen. Saftiger Gaumen, die Tannine sind so elegant, dass man diesen Wein jetzt problemlos geniessen kann. Eine geniale Business-Lunch-Variante. trinken ( - 2028)

Pichon Lalande’s 2007 is a seductive, dark ruby/plum-tinged wine displaying sweet cocoa, white chocolate, black currant, and foresty notes, medium body, a velvety texture, and a delicious style. The final blend is 58% Cabernet Sauvignon, 36% Merlot, and the rest Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc. Drink it over the next decade.

Fresh and fruity, offering berry and floral aromas that follow through to a medium-to-full body, with slightly chewy tannins that are polished and attractive. Needs more in the midpalate to be outstanding. Best after 2011. –JS

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.
