Jeannie Cho Lee November - 2015
Jeannie Cho Lee
Youthful, fairly dense with concentrated flavors of classic Pichon Lalande: violets, cedar, cassis and blackberries. This wine does not taste like it is 10 years old. The tannins are dense, velvety and and smooth and the flavors have a wonderful intensity on the mid palate. The wine is still firmly in its primary fruit phase and it will be a joy to follow it through its aging process.

Love the colour of this, deep damson, generous and enticing. The tannins are just astonishingly finessed and generous, chocolate, cedar, cocoa bean, so well constructed, combining depth to the fruit with feather-pillow tannins. Clearly young, decades ahead of it, but this is already confident and enjoyable, effortlessly standing out from this lineup of exceptional wines. It lacks the weight and concentration of the 2009 or 2010 of Comtesse, but it’s showing extremely well, and seems to be gaining in power. 50% new oak.

Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate
The Château Pichon-Lalande 2005 that was so divisive at birth but as I expected right from the beginning, this is maturing into a lovely Pauillac. It offers compelling tobacco and graphite scents on the nose, belying the Merlot content of this blend, reserved at first but opening gloriously in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with very fine tannin and well-judged acidity. There is an effortlessness quality about this Pichon-Lalande. ‘tis not the most powerful or decadent Pauillac but its is very sophisticated and refined.

In recent years, Pichon Comtesse has developed an elegance all its own, with great style, smoothing out the real intensity of the wine. This 2005 continues in that tradition, a spice, fruity wine, which has restraint as well as hidden power.

Rounded, immediately more graceful than the Reserve de Comtesse, with a certain minerality and earthiness. Solid, ripe black fruit, which is weighty on the palate and nicely juicy with a certain tension between the taut, supple tannins and sexy damson and black chocolate fruit quality. Very silky, delicious and long.

Dark color, of normal intensity and slightly evolved. Moderately aromatic nose, with ripe and creamy fruit. Delicate on the attack, melting on the development, very aromatic, the wine caresses the palate, savory, before appearing a touch austere, but deep in the persistence.

Wine Spectator February - 2018

Juicy and sleek in feel, with a gloss of singed vanilla and alder over the core of lively blackberry, fig and black currant paste flavors. Singed charcoal and sweet tobacco notes score the finish and leave a mouthwatering feel. A tough decision whether to drink now or wait, as both choices will be rewarded.

Very pleasant orange nuances, fine red berry fruit, delicately reminiscent of nougat. On the palate fresh and characterized by red berry fruit, firm, gripping but sweet tannins (50% new, 50% one-year-old barrels), shows itself mineral and powerful thanks to the Cabernet component, remains very well adhered, a true Vin de Garde.

Jeff Leve - The Wine Cellar Insider
The past 5 years have been good for this wine. Much better than previous bottles, now you find more of everything expected from Pichon Lalande. The wine is medium-bodied, lush, round, soft and loaded with ripe, fresh, sweet, dark red fruits, plums, tobacco, spice and earth. The plummy, red berry finish offers alternating notes of sweet red fruits and bright, crisp cranberries coupled with sensual textures. Give this a few more years, or 90 minutes in the decanter.

Open nose, showing whipped cream, strawberries, plums. On the palate leaner and tighter than the nose suggests, the wine has a lot of structure, and a rather mild acidity. Good length.

Tasted blind. Dark crimson. Fleshier than the average Pauillac 2005 and therefore fun! Though relatively precocious.

Château Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse De Lalande
Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse De Lalande

Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande, located in Pauillac in the heart of Médoc, is one of the most emblematic Second Grand Cru Classé of the 1855 classification. Founded in the 17th century and lastingly marked by the figure of Virginie de Pichon Longueville, Comtesse de Lalande, the estate stands today as an essential reference among the great wines of Bordeaux.

Located on deep gravel ridges resting on a clay-marl base, in close proximity to the Gironde estuary, the vineyard benefits from an exceptional terroir and a microclimate particularly favorable to the maturity of Cabernet Sauvignon. The wine combines power, precision and elegance, in a style recognized for its finesse and aging capacity.

Property of the Rouzaud family since 2007, Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande continues a demanding quality policy, committed to an environmental approach certified HVE and in conversion to organic farming since 2021. Parcel-based vinifications and the use of a gravity-flow vat room allow to preserve the pure expression of the Pauillac terroir.

Vintages such as Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande 1982, Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande 1986, Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande 1994, Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande 1996, Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande 2000, Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande 2009, illustrate the qualitative consistency and remarkable aging potential of this great Pauillac wine, particularly sought after by enthusiasts and collectors of rare wines.
