Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse De Lalande 1986

Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande 1986 is a classic Pauillac that shows why this estate is revered for producing wines of both power and finesse. Built on Cabernet Sauvignon-led structure, with Merlot and Cabernet Franc adding depth and perfume, it is a historically significant vintage from one of Bordeaux’s most celebrated second growths.

Makuprofiili
In the glass, the wine typically shows a deep ruby-garnet colour, still holding impressive depth for its age. The nose is layered and refined, with blackberry, blackcurrant, cedar, mint, graphite, and savory hints of sage, truffle, and cigar box unfolding with air. On the palate, it is full-bodied yet more graceful than its youth suggested, with mellowed tannins, vivid concentration, and a long, balanced finish. There is a noble Pauillac character here: dark fruit, spice, earth, and mineral notes in harmony. The 1986 vintage has outstanding aging potential, and while beautifully mature now, it can still offer pleasure to collectors who appreciate structured, evolved Bordeaux.

Viininvalmistus
The vineyards of Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande are planted on deep gravel soils near the Gironde estuary in southern Pauillac, an ideal terroir for Cabernet Sauvignon, with cooling maritime influence helping preserve freshness and aromatic precision. Grapes are typically harvested parcel by parcel at optimal ripeness, and the estate is known for vinifying different vineyard sections separately to respect each plot’s character. The final wine is crafted through traditional Bordeaux vinification and élevage in oak, building the structure, complexity, and longevity for which the château is known.

Ruoka & tarjoilu
This is a superb match for roast lamb, beef tenderloin, duck breast, game birds, venison, or truffle-accented dishes, as well as aged hard cheeses. Serve at around 16–18°C. Decanting is recommended, especially if opening now, to allow the wine to fully express its aromatic complexity and soften any remaining structure.

Tuottaja
Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande traces its origins back to the late 17th century and became a separate estate after the division of the Pichon Longueville holdings in the 19th century. Classified as a Second Growth in the 1855 Bordeaux Classification, it has long stood among Pauillac’s most admired properties, celebrated for its seductive, refined style. Under the leadership of Madame May-Eliane de Lencquesaing, the château reached a new level of prestige, including major vineyard expansion and critical acclaim, before being acquired by the Rouzaud family in 2007, who continued to invest heavily in its future.
