A Pauillac That Challenges the First Growths

Very few wines in Bordeaux consistently perform above their classification.

Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande is one of those rare exceptions.

Located immediately alongside the legendary vineyards of Château Latour, Pichon Comtesse has long been regarded as the finest of Bordeaux's Second Growths. The 2019 vintage is another extraordinary chapter in that remarkable history—a wine of breathtaking precision, remarkable concentration and effortless elegance.

Awarded an astonishing three 99-point scores and two further 98-point ratings, this is one of the greatest wines of the magnificent 2019 Bordeaux vintage and a bottle that comfortably competes with many of Bordeaux's First Growths.

Tasting Notes

Expect a magnificent Pauillac layered with:

• Crème de cassis and blackcurrant
• Blackberry and black cherry
• Crushed violets
• Cedar and fine cigar box
• Pencil lead and graphite
• Dark chocolate and espresso
• Exotic spice and beautifully integrated French oak

The palate is immensely concentrated yet almost weightless in its balance. Rich black fruits are framed by silky tannins, vibrant freshness and extraordinary mineral precision. Every layer unfolds seamlessly, leading to an incredibly long finish filled with cassis, graphite and floral perfume.

This is Pauillac at its most refined and complete.

About the Wine

Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande has earned a reputation as one of Bordeaux's most iconic estates since its classification as a Deuxième Grand Cru Classé (Second Growth) in 1855.

Its vineyards lie on one of Pauillac's greatest terroirs, sharing the same deep Günzian gravel soils that have made neighbouring Château Latour famous. These exceptional soils produce Cabernet Sauvignon of extraordinary depth and longevity, while a generous proportion of Merlot contributes the estate's trademark silkiness and elegance.

The 2019 blend is approximately:

• 83% Cabernet Sauvignon
• 14% Merlot
• 2% Cabernet Franc
• 1% Petit Verdot

The outstanding 2019 growing season delivered fruit of remarkable purity, concentration and freshness, allowing the estate to craft one of the finest wines in its long and distinguished history.

Food Pairings

Perfect with:

• Beef Wellington
• Dry-aged Wagyu
• Roast lamb
• Venison loin
• Duck breast
• Black truffle dishes
• Mature Comté or aged Gouda

Cellaring

Although already incredibly impressive after extended decanting, this is a wine destined for a very long life.

Expect it to evolve beautifully for 40–50+ years, developing magnificent layers of cedar, cigar box, graphite, forest floor, truffle and exotic spice while retaining its extraordinary freshness and elegance.
