Jeff Leve - The Wine Cellar Insider December - 2021
Jeff Leve - The Wine Cellar Insider
At probably full-maturity, this is a gorgeous Pauillac. rich, supple, and concentrated, you find a wealth of dark currants, tobacco leaf, cigar box, spice, blackberry, peppery herbs, and leather on the nose. The palate is even better with its silky textures, length, and soft, luscious, earthy, tobacco-tinted fruits that linger. Popped and poured, it showed great from the get-go.

Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate
The 1996 Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande is really beginning to drink with style, wafting from the glass with an inviting nose of blackberries, cassis, cherries, rich soil tones, Cuban cigar and subtle hints of mint and bergamot. Medium to full-bodied, rich and fleshy, with an expansive, sumptuous core of fruit that's underpinned by ripe acids and ripe, powdery virile tannins, it concludes with a long, penetrating and sapid finish. This unusually Cabernet Sauvignon-dominated vintage was tightly wound for its first two decades, but as time passes it's the château signature that's dominating the cépagement. It's one of the wines of the vintage in 1996.

Dark ruby garnet, violet reflections, delicate brightening at the rim. Fine blend of dark forest berries, cassis, a hint of cedar wood, lots of nougat. Juicy, opulent, reminiscent of top Cabernets from Napa Valley, very freshly structured, characterized by the above-average Cabernet Sauvignon content, aromatic, almost baroque style, then mineral on the finish, an age-worthy, long-lasting wine that will continue to give pleasure for a long time.

This bottle of '96 Pichon Comtesse didn't quite reach the sublime heights of the '82 but was supern nonetheless. Classic plum fruit, cassis, green pepper, lead pencil notes on the finish. At peak for my taste preferences easy 95/100.

Dark and evolved colour. Intense, aromatic nose with a dominance of ripe fruit. However, a less ripe touch appears as it evolves in the glass, evoking a bygone past. Palate with an elongated body, patinated texture with here and there a return of nuances of red pepper and spices. It's very good with the pork loin as it compensates for a slight lack of maturity. Medium length. Drink without delay.

Magnum. 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc, 5% Petit Verdot. Really intriguing wine that's already quite evolved on the nose. Really deliciously perfectly formed at this stage. Juicy and ripe but with admirable freshness. Most impressive. Polished tannins and at a perfect stage for current drinking.

Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse De Lalande

Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande, located in Pauillac in the heart of the Médoc, is one of the most emblematic Second Grand Cru Classé of the 1855 classification. Founded in the 17th century and permanently marked by the figure of Virginie de Pichon Longueville, Comtesse de Lalande, the estate has established itself today as an essential reference among the great wines of Bordeaux.

Located on deep gravel ridges resting on a clay-marl base, in close proximity to the Gironde estuary, the vineyard benefits from an exceptional terroir and a microclimate particularly favourable to the ripening of Cabernet Sauvignon. The wine combines power, precision and elegance, in a style renowned for its finesse and ageing potential.

Owned by the Rouzaud family since 2007, Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande continues a demanding quality policy, committed to an environmental approach certified HVE and in conversion to organic farming since 2021. Parcel vinification and the use of a gravity-fed vat room preserve the pure expression of the Pauillac terroir.

Vintages such as Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande 1982, Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande 1986, Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande 1994, Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande 1996, Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande 2000, Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande 2009, illustrate the consistent quality and remarkable ageing potential of this great Pauillac wine, particularly sought after by enthusiasts and collectors of rare wines.
