Richly coloured ; good fruit, a whiff of lavender and 'sea breeze' ; mouthfilling, sweet, masked tannin.

This has an attractive, slightly austere, leafy nose with tobacco, graphite, cedar and a touch of earthiness coming through. That graphite scent becomes more intense with time. The palate is medium-bodied, very well balanced, masculine but a nice sense of tension. Touches of burnt toast, savoury fruits and sour cherry towards the finish. A sense of elegance here, paradigmatic of a great austere 1988. Bon vin!

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

Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande is a Bordeaux wine estate that produces its grand crus in the Pauillac appellation. It is a second growth classified in the official 1855 classification. Recognizable by its white label with golden writing, the Château is also known for its high quality wine and expertise. Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande also produces a second wine: La Réserve de la Comtesse. 

The 45% Cabernet Sauvignon defines the structure, the framework of the wine and gives it its longevity. Recent tastings of old vintages such as 1875, 1893, 1900 have shown, through their surprising youth, the aging potential of Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande wines. 35% Merlot: a surprising percentage, unusual in an appellation that favors Cabernet Sauvignon.

The 12% Cabernet Franc produces a balanced wine with a fruity, firm and clean bouquet in its youth, which blends very well in the blend during aging. The 8% Petit Verdot brings freshness and great aromatic and spicy complexity to the blend. Each year, more than 100 people - often the same families from Andalusia - harvest the estate's grapes according to the degree of ripeness and age of the plots: Merlot, an early-ripening variety, starts the harvest, while Cabernet and Petit Verdot, late-ripening varieties, close it.
