Pichon Comtesse De Lalande 2ème Grand Cru Classé Pauillac, 2023

Pichon Comtesse de Lalande is one of Pauillac’s most admired names, known for blending power, precision, and a notably refined style. As a 2ème Grand Cru Classé, the estate carries the heritage of Bordeaux’s 1855 classification while consistently delivering wines of elegance and depth.

Tasting Notes
The 2023 vintage is expected to show a deep ruby hue with a polished, classical Pauillac profile. Aromas typically lean toward cassis, blackberry, cedar, pencil shavings, violets, and subtle tobacco, with a very fine-grained texture on the nose. On the palate, the wine is usually layered and graceful, combining ripe dark fruit with firm but beautifully integrated tannins, fresh acidity, and mineral drive. The finish tends to be long and precise, with excellent aging potential; in strong vintages, Pichon Comtesse can evolve beautifully for several decades.

Production
Produced in Pauillac, on Bordeaux’s Left Bank, the wine benefits from gravelly soils that provide excellent drainage and help shape the estate’s structured, Cabernet Sauvignon-led style. Harvesting is typically done with careful parcel selection, and vinification aims to preserve purity of fruit, detail, and balance, with aging in French oak contributing finesse and complexity.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with classic Bordeaux fare such as ribeye, lamb rack, duck breast, game, and slow-braised beef dishes. Serve at 16–18°C, and consider decanting for 1–2 hours if drinking young to allow the wine to open fully.
