Jeannie Cho Lee April - 2025
Jeannie Cho Lee
A monumental vintage for Pichon Lalande. Dense yet refined with tightly knit dark fruit, herbs, and spices. 75% Cabernet Sauvignon. A wine of power and precision that will evolve beautifully over time. Long, impressive finish.

Medium bodied, forward, polished and fruity, the wine is silky, fresh and inviting. This is a new challenger in the quality race for the top second wine in Bordeaux. This year's blend is unique with all the Petit Verdot from the vineyard and more Cabernet Franc than usual.

The best ever made. Dark red colour, with purple reflections. Beautiful. Moderately intense nose, with ripe fruitiness. Toasted touch. Smooth from the entry on the palate and immediately fragrant, the wine evolves flavoursome, with a slightly firm touch between the mid-palate and the finish. Then it regains richness. Very beautiful length.

The 2016 Reserve de la Comtesse is a blend of 54% Cabernet Sauvignon, 37% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot and 4% Cabernet Franc. Deep garnet-purple coloured, it leaps from the glass with beautiful kirsch, cassis and redcurrants with hints of red roses, black tea, black pepper, chocolate box and cloves. The palate is medium-bodied, very elegant and fresh with gorgeous silken tannins and loads of bright fruit, finishing spicy.

Very attractive silkiness on the nose with real perfume of maturing claret. Lift and freshness. A tribute to Pichon Lalande grand vin. Could be relatively GV for a mature claret?

Château Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse De Lalande
Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse De Lalande

Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande is a Bordeaux wine estate that produces its grand crus in the Pauillac appellation. It is a second growth classified in the official 1855 classification. Recognisable by its white label with golden lettering, the Château is also known for its high-quality wine and expertise. Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande also produces a second wine: La Réserve de la Comtesse. 

The 45% Cabernet Sauvignon gives the wine its structure, backbone and longevity. Recent tastings of old vintages such as 1875, 1893, and 1900 have shown, through their astonishing youthfulness, the ageing potential of Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande wines. 35% Merlot: a surprising percentage, unusual in an appellation that favours Cabernet Sauvignon.

The 12% Cabernet Franc produces a balanced wine with a fruity, firm and clean bouquet in its youth, which blends very well into the blend as it ages. The 8% Petit Verdot brings freshness and great aromatic and spicy complexity to the blend. Each year, more than 100 people - often the same families from Andalusia - harvest the estate's grapes, according to the degree of ripeness and the age of the plots: Merlot, an early-ripening variety, inaugurates the harvest, while Cabernet and Petit Verdot, late-ripening varieties, close it.
