Description

The magnificent Château Pichon-Longueville Comtesse de Lalande, a Second Grand Cru Classé of Pauillac, truly shines as a star of its appellation. The 1995 vintage is a testament to its renowned elegance and power, offering a captivating experience for any discerning palate.

Wine opens with vibrant aromas of ripe blackcurrants, blackberries, and dark cherries, gracefully intertwining with sophisticated notes of cedarwood, tobacco, and fine spices like pepper and vanilla. As the wine breathes and evolves, subtle hints of truffles, leather, and a delicate mineral note emerge.

On the palate, Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande 1995 reveals an impressive structure supported by a powerful yet supple tannin framework. The fruit is concentrated and vibrant, beautifully balanced by a fresh acidity that imparts energy and vibrancy to the wine. The dark fruit and spice notes are seamlessly integrated, complemented by subtle nuances of chocolate and toasted wood.

This distinguished Pauillac vineyard is situated on soils composed of gravelly hills over sandy-clay subsoils, a terroir that imparts the classic Pauillac character. The blend typically features a significant proportion of ‘Cabernet Sauvignon’ complemented by ‘Merlot’ a and ‘Cabernet Franc’, contributing to its unique balance of power and sensuality.
