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

Pichon Comtesse Reserve 2016 in magnum format is a polished and expressive Pauillac, offering the elegance and finesse that have made Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande one of Bordeaux’s most admired names. As the estate’s second wine, it captures the house style beautifully: silky, balanced, and classically composed, with the added benefit of magnum aging for even greater development over time.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, the wine shows a deep ruby colour with plenty of youthful intensity. The nose opens with dark berries, cedar, spice, and a subtle maritime freshness, gradually revealing more layered notes of blackcurrant, pencil shavings, and a touch of creaminess. On the palate, it is medium-bodied and refined, with a supple texture balanced by firm, well-integrated tannins. The fruit is dark and focused, framed by classic Pauillac structure and a clean, savoury finish. This is a wine with excellent aging potential, and the magnum format should help it evolve gracefully over many years.

Production
The grapes come from the estate’s prized vineyards in southern Pauillac, close to the Gironde estuary, on deep gravel soils that are ideal for Cabernet Sauvignon and the other classic Bordeaux varieties. The blend is dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon, with Merlot and Cabernet Franc adding softness and aromatic lift. Each parcel is vinified separately to preserve its character, and the wine is aged for around 12 months in oak, with a portion of new barrels depending on the vintage.

Food & Serving
This is an excellent match for roast lamb, beef tenderloin, duck breast, game birds, or mushroom-based dishes. It also pairs well with mature hard cheeses and classic Bordeaux-style fare. Serve at around 16–18°C, and decant for 1–2 hours if drinking young to allow the aromatics and structure to open up fully.
