Makuprofiili
In the glass, the wine shows a deep, dark ruby core with superb clarity and intensity. The nose is layered and expressive, unfolding with cassis, black plum, violets, sweet tobacco, licorice, pencil shavings, and a subtle earthy, smoky complexity. On the palate, it is full-bodied yet effortlessly balanced, with ripe black fruit, fresh acidity, finely grained tannins, and a long, persistent finish. The 2016 vintage brings outstanding purity and structure, giving the wine both immediate charm and serious aging potential. It is built for the cellar and should develop beautifully over several decades.

Viininvalmistus
The vineyards of Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande are planted on deep gravel soils in southern Pauillac, close to the Gironde estuary, a terroir that naturally favors Cabernet Sauvignon while allowing Merlot and Cabernet Franc to add softness and perfume. The estate benefits from a privileged location next to Château Latour, and the fruit is harvested and vinified parcel by parcel to preserve the character of each plot. Modern cellar investments have enabled precise, separate fermentation and careful oak aging, resulting in a wine that is both powerful and exceptionally refined.

Ruoka & tarjoilu
This wine pairs wonderfully with dishes that can match its structure and elegance, such as roast lamb, beef filet, duck breast, venison, or mushroom-based dishes with truffle and herbs. It is best served at 16–18°C, and decanting for 1–2 hours is recommended, especially if opening young, to allow the wine’s aromatics and layered texture to fully emerge.

Tuottaja
