2023 Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse De Lalande

Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande is one of Bordeaux’s most admired names, known for producing Pauillac wines with remarkable finesse, depth, and elegance. The 2023 vintage continues that legacy, offering the estate’s signature blend of power and refinement from one of the Left Bank’s most celebrated historic properties.

Tasting Notes
Expect a deep, vibrant color in the glass, hinting at the concentration to come. The nose is likely to be expressive and layered, with classic Bordeaux notes of cassis, dark cherry, graphite, cedar, violets, and subtle spice. On the palate, the wine should combine ripe black fruit, fine tannins, freshness, and impressive structure, with the hallmark balance that makes this château so admired. While enjoyable with patience, it is built for aging and should develop greater complexity over the coming years, revealing more nuance of tobacco, leather, earth, and truffle with time.

Production
Produced in Pauillac on Bordeaux’s Left Bank, the wine reflects the gravelly terroir that gives Cabernet Sauvignon its structure, precision, and aromatic lift. In a vintage like 2023, careful vineyard work and selective harvesting are essential to preserve purity and balance. Vinification is typically carried out with great precision, using parcel-by-parcel selection to capture the character of each plot before aging in French oak to add polish and complexity while respecting the estate’s elegant style.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with classic dishes such as roast lamb, beef tenderloin, duck breast, venison, or slow-braised short ribs. It also works well with mature hard cheeses. Serve at around 16–18°C, and consider decanting for 1–2 hours if drinking young to allow the aromatics and structure to open fully.
