Pichon Comtesse De Lalande 2ème Grand Cru Classé Pauillac, 2011

Pichon Comtesse de Lalande 2011 is a refined Pauillac from one of Bordeaux’s most admired estates, combining power, elegance, and impressive precision. As a 2ème Grand Cru Classé, it offers the depth and structure expected from the Left Bank, while preserving the silky, layered style that has made the château a favorite among collectors.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a deep ruby core with garnet edges, reflecting both concentration and the first signs of graceful evolution. The bouquet is classic Pauillac: cassis, black cherry, cedar, graphite, tobacco leaf, and violet, with subtle notes of spice, earth, and well-integrated oak. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied with fine-grained tannins, bright acidity, and a polished, composed texture. Cabernet Sauvignon brings structure and length, Merlot adds richness and softness, while Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot contribute aromatic lift and complexity. The 2011 vintage is generally approachable earlier than more powerful years, yet it still has the balance and backbone to develop further with careful cellaring.

Production
Made from a traditional Bordeaux blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot, this wine reflects the gravelly terroir of Pauillac, where drainage and vine stress help produce concentrated, ageworthy fruit. The estate’s vinification focuses on precision and preserving fruit character, with careful parcel selection, controlled fermentation, and maturation in French oak to add structure and aromatic complexity without overwhelming the wine’s natural finesse.

Food & Serving
This Pauillac pairs beautifully with roasted lamb, entrecôte, duck breast, beef tenderloin, game, and dishes featuring mushrooms or truffle. Serve at around 16–18°C, and decant for 1–2 hours if enjoyed young, especially to soften the tannins and let the aromatics open fully.

Producer
Pichon Comtesse de Lalande is one of Pauillac’s most prestigious historic estates and a Second Growth in the 1855 Bordeaux Classification. Known for producing wines that combine the force of Pauillac with unusual elegance and perfume, the château has earned a loyal following among collectors and critics alike, and is widely regarded as one of the benchmark properties of the Left Bank.
