Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse De Lalande 1983

Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande 1983 is a beautifully mature Bordeaux from one of Pauillac’s most admired estates. Often praised for its elegance, perfume, and supple texture, it stands apart for combining power with finesse in a style that has long made Pichon-Comtesse a benchmark in the Médoc. The château’s long history, dating back to the 17th century, gives this vintage an added layer of prestige and provenance.

Makuprofiili
In the glass, the wine shows a dark ruby core with gentle fading at the rim, reflecting its age while still retaining depth. The nose is expansive and expressive, with aromas of roasted herbs, sweet blackcurrant, tobacco, pain grillé, and subtle earthy notes that unfold beautifully with air. On the palate, it is full-bodied and concentrated, yet remarkably polished, with low acidity, plenty of glycerol richness, and a savory, fleshy texture. The fruit remains generous, supported by classic Pauillac character and a silky, rounded structure. At this stage it is superbly drinkable, though well-stored bottles can continue to give pleasure for years to come.

Viininvalmistus
The estate’s vineyards lie on deep gravel soils in southern Pauillac, close to the Gironde estuary, where the maritime influence helps temper the climate and support slow, even ripening. The blend is based on Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Merlot, drawn from carefully managed parcels that historically have reflected the château’s more voluptuous style. Harvesting is done with great attention to ripeness, and the wine is vinified parcel by parcel to preserve nuance and precision before élevage in oak.

Ruoka & tarjoilu
This is an excellent match for roast lamb, beef tenderloin, duck breast, game, or truffled dishes, as well as aged hard cheeses. Serve at around 16–18°C, and consider decanting for 30–60 minutes if the bottle is showing any reduction or sediment; otherwise, a gentle decant or slow aeration in the glass is often enough for a mature wine like this.

Tuottaja
Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande is one of Bordeaux’s historic second-growth estates, classified in 1855 and long celebrated for its refined, aromatic style. The estate traces its origins to 1689 and was shaped significantly by Virginie de Lalande, who gave the château its name and built the residence in the 19th century. In the modern era, it gained renewed acclaim under Madame May-Eliane de Lencquesaing, whose stewardship brought major renovations, vineyard expansion, and international recognition, including a legendary 100-point wine in the 1982 vintage.
