The sample of 2019 Pichon-Longueville Comtesse de Lalande sent to me last year was an absolute show-stopper. The bouquet needs a few minutes to open up, delivering intense black fruit, crushed stone and incense with time in the glass. Yes, the nose does remind me of Latour! The medium-bodied palate is endowed with unerring symmetry and poise. This is a powerful, multi-dimensional Pichon-Lalande, extremely precise, very deep and long. The 60% new oak is seamlessly integrated and feels just right. It reminds me of the 1996 in some ways, but with more finesse on the finish. Stunning. 14.12% alcohol

One of the wines of the vintage, the 2019 Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande soars from the glass with complex aromas of wild berries, tobacco leaf, loamy soil, burning embers and hints of violets and rose petals. Full-bodied, deep and complete, it’s velvety and seamless, with a broad attack and a multidimensional core of lively, succulent fruit. Concluding with a long, expansive finish, it’s a remarkable young Pauillac that will offer many years of thrilling drinking. Congratulations to Nicolas Glumineau and his team, who are ushering in a new golden age at an address where standards were always very high.

Delivers a gorgeous wave of just-warmed cassis, plum puree and black cherry reduction flavors that glides through so suavely, thanks to a silky, refined structure. This is no lightweight though, as there's a rivet of iron to pin down the finish while savory and floral details play out amid the fruit. Offers the density, purity and drive to hang with the more long-lived wines of the vintage. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Best from 2025 through 2042. — JM

Château Pichon-Longueville Comtesse de Lalande
Questa tenuta esemplare di Pauillac, Château Pichon-Longueville Comtesse de Lalande, produce alcuni dei migliori Bordeaux Deuxième Cru. Conosciuta per i vini ricchi, eleganti e profumati, la storia dello Château risale al XVII secolo. Nel 2007, Pichon-Longueville fu venduto alla Maison di Champagne a gestione familiare Roederer. Di recente la proprietà è stata completamente messa a nuovo: sono state costruite nuove strutture di vinificazione, restaurate cantine, tinaie e chais, ripiantate alcune vigne, modernizzate la reception, il museo e il castello. Questi miglioramenti e l'impegno del direttore della tenuta, Nicolas Glumineau, a mantenere gli standard già elevati di Pichon-Longueville hanno determinato il successo di questa proprietà della Sponda Sinistra. Grazie ai vigneti che confinano con la denominazione di Saint-Julien, i vini di Pichon-Longueville sono i più esotici e voluttuosamente profumati del Médoc. Il Grand Vin è un Pauillac elegante, grazie al contenuto relativamente elevato di Merlot.
