2020 Chateau Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande Pauillac
Chateau Pichon Lalande is one of the classic examples of Pauillac. The vineyard is located next to Chateau Latour, and across the road from Pichon Baron, and produces every inch of quality of those estates.
“An estate that has been on fire of late, the 2020 Château Pichon-Longueville Comtesse De Lalande is another brilliant wine in a succession of brilliant wines. Revealing a dense purple hue as well as full-bodied aromas and flavors of blac currants, scorched earth, tobacco leaf, and violets, it hits the palate with an expansive, rich, yet pure, precise texture that carries fabulous tannins, perfect balance, and a stacked mid-palate. Based on 77% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17% Merlot, and 6% Cabernet Franc, it's an incredible wine that's going to flirt with perfection and is unquestionably one of the finest, if not the finest, Left Banks in the vintage. Bravo. Tasted twice.” – Wine Spectator
