Description
Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande, 2ème Cru Classé, est situé à l'est de l'appellation Pauillac. Un sol complexe (gravier, argile, grès et calcaire) accueille des vignes dont certaines débordent sur l'appellation Saint-Julien. L'élevage dure en principe 18 mois et voit l'usage de 50% de bois neuf. Pichon Longueville Lalande est souvent plus facile d'approche que ses voisins de Pauillac; ceci est dû en partie à l'importance du merlot dans son assemblage (environ 35%).

Notes de dégustation

Wineadvocate

The 2018 Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande is a blend of 71% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot with a pH of 3.85, an IPT (total polyphenol index) of 87 and 14% alcohol. The grand vin represents 50% of the crop this year. Deep garnet-purple colored, it charges out of the gate with bold scents of baked plums, ripe blackcurrants and wild blueberries, followed by hints of cedar chest, pencil lead, bouquet garni and charcuterie, plus a waft of lilacs. The medium-bodied palate is beautifully crafted with its seamless freshness and firm, grainy tannins supporting the compelling, finely knit black fruits and savory nuances, finishing on a lingering fragrant-earth note. This will need a good 5 years to come around and should easily cellar for another 30 years or more. LP-B March 2021

Vinous

The 2018 Pichon-Lalande was given an hour’s decant and then observed over the next 24 hours. It has clearly retained the showstopping nose that I encountered from barrel, those same “gentle waves" of black cherries and blueberry, incense and violets lending it a Margaux-like allure. The palate is vibrant and full of tension from the start, the acidity slicing through the layers of quite plush black fruit, judiciously laced with tobacco and mint. There is a beguiling sense of harmony conveyed by this Pichon-Lalande and although there is clearly plenty of structure, the tannins are so pixelated and pliant that it might well be broachable in 4–5 years’ time. Personally, however, I would prefer to cellar it for 8–10 years (by which time I hope that the new Cure album is finally released). However long you decide to keep it tucked away, this is a quite brilliant Pauillac. NM March 2021

Beck

Pichon Comtesse se révèle avec une exceptionnelle finesse, avec grandeur et délicatesse, avec classe et ferveur ! Il y a les typiques notes de Pauillac, comme des notes de cèdre et de graphite, puis il y a le Cabernet Sauvignon avec son défilé de fraîcheur (menthe, eucalyptus) et de fruits rouges tels que framboises et cerises. En bouche le vin commence par se distinguer par sa finesse et… sa puissance ! Quelle classe, quelle précision et quelle incroyable aptitude à si bien concilier ampleur et race. Un vin brillant, profond, intense, persistant et certainement une des plus grandes réussites du millésime. 2026-2055 - YB November 2020

Suckling

18 Jan, 2021 – Aromas of blackberry, dried blueberry, gravel, mocha and cigar box. Light fresh-herb undertone. It’s full-bodied with firm, ultra fine tannins and fresh acidity. Focused and minerally with a long finish. Great length. Very tight and restrained at the moment. Wait until at least 2026 to take a look.

Dunnuck

The 2018 Château Pichon-Longueville Comtesse De Lalande is a monster of a wine with an almost Château Latour-like stature and structure, offering deep, backward, slightly reductive notes of blackcurrants, crushed stone, scorched earth, lead pencil shavings, and tobacco leaf. Based largely on Cabernet Sauvignon mixed with 23% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc, and 1% Petit Verdot, it's full-bodied, concentrated, and powerful on the palate, with masses of tannins, beautiful mid-palate density, and a great finish. As I've commented previously, the up-front, sexy style of the past (due to the larger Merlot content, I believe) has been replaced by a more regal, at times austere profile. Nevertheless, it's still its own wine and very Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande in style. This 2018 is going to need 5-7 years of bottle age and will evolve for 40+ years. - JD 11/2021
