Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande 'Pichon Comtesse Reserve' 2016 Magnum

Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande 'Pichon Comtesse Reserve' 2016 Magnum is a refined second wine from one of Pauillac’s most admired estates, offering impressive harmony, finesse, and character. This vintage brings together Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc in a style that is both classic and approachable, with the depth and pedigree you expect from a leading Bordeaux property. Built on a long history dating back to the 17th century, it reflects the elegance and enduring reputation of Château Pichon Comtesse.

Makuprofiili
In the glass, the wine shows a deep ruby to garnet hue, suggesting both concentration and freshness. The bouquet opens with dark berries, cedar, and warm spice, alongside subtle black fruit and a faint maritime, almost saline edge that adds lift and complexity. On the palate, it is medium-bodied, smooth, and beautifully balanced, with firm yet polished tannins framing layers of blackcurrant, plum, cedar, and a touch of creamy oak. The finish is graceful and persistent, with the structure to age well over the coming years and develop more secondary notes of tobacco, truffle, and earth.

Viininvalmistus
The grapes come from the château’s prized Pauillac vineyards on deep gravel soils near the Gironde estuary, where the maritime influence helps preserve freshness and aromatic precision. The estate also benefits from parcels in neighboring Saint-Julien that are vinified as Pauillac for historical reasons, adding further complexity to the blend. The wine is aged for around 12 months, with 25–40% new oak depending on the vintage, and the parcels are vinified separately to preserve their individual character before final blending.

Ruoka & tarjoilu
This is an excellent match for roasted lamb, beef tenderloin, duck breast, game birds, or mushroom-based dishes, as well as mature hard cheeses. Serve at 16–18°C and consider decanting for 1–2 hours if drinking young, especially from magnum, to allow the wine to fully open and show its layered aromatics.

Tuottaja
Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande is one of Pauillac’s historic estates, founded in 1689 and later divided into two properties after Baron Joseph de Pichon Longueville’s death in 1850. Under Virginie Pichon Longueville and later May-Eliane de Lencquesaing, the château became known for its elegant, sensual style and for major investments that elevated the estate’s quality and reputation. Today, under the Rouzaud family, it remains a benchmark of the Left Bank, celebrated for finesse, consistency, and some of the region’s most distinctive wines.
