Description

The Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande 2021 is a Grand Cru Classé from Pauillac, produced by the Louis Roederer champagne estate. This vintage is a blend of 88% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Cabernet Franc and 2% Merlot, with an alcohol content of 13%. Due to a difficult growing cycle with mild summers and a low yield of only 15 hectoliters per hectare, the wine is concentrated and expressive. The grapes were harvested by hand and underwent vinification with a maturation of 18 months in 60% new French oak barrels.

In the glass, the wine has a deep ruby red color. The nose is complex and refined, with aromas of ripe blackberries, cassis, violets, cedar, graphite and a hint of truffle. The taste is medium to full, with silky tannins, a lively acidity and a long, mineral finish. The wine has excellent ageing potential and is already accessible, but will continue to develop in the coming years.

The Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande 2021 is considered an excellent expression of the Pauillac terroir, with an aging potential from 2026 to 2046.

This is a 1.5 liter Magnum
