Pichon Comtesse de Lalande 2024

Pichon Comtesse: an unwavering pursuit of elegance and precision Only three families have guided Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande and its wines since its foundation in 1689. Since 2007, the Rouzaud family, founders and owners of the prestigious champagne house Louis Roederer, have been at the helm of the estate, driven by an unwavering commitment to enhance the stature and quality of this 1855 Second Grand Cru Classé. Ideally situated in Pauillac, on the banks of the Gironde estuary, the estate boasts a sprawling vineyard of 114 hectares (282 acres). In their relentless pursuit of excellence, the dedicated teams initiated an extensive replanting programme in 2009, a commitment that continues to this day. Each replanted parcel is farmed biodynamically, and in 2021 the estate embarked on the path to organic conversion. Pichon Comtesse wines are characterised by a remarkable balance - a harmonious blend of the distinctive characteristics of Pauillac with a unique personality. Straightforward, precise and elegant, with a velvety texture reminiscent of silky cashmere, they are truly exceptional.

Like the vintages of 1988, 1998, and 2008, this wine will reveal its true value in the fullness of time. Pichon Comtesse 2024, born of a battle against the elements, already stands out for its complexity, nobility, and finesse. Thanks to a few salvaging weeks of warm, dry weather in summer, the grapes reached maturity. The wine is vivacious, poised, proud, powerful and refined; very Pauillac and unmistakeably Comtesse ! Tasting notes The nose is dominated by aromas of pink roses, evolving towards fruitier notes of raspberry and blackcurrant jelly, as well as floral and mineral nuances of rosewood, lemon verbena and cedar, culminating in iris overtones (root and flower). Generous, concentrated and subtle on the palate, revealing blackcurrant and dark tobacco flavors. Powerful and full-bodied, it reveals long-lasting powdery tannins and notes of black tea and cocoa.
