Beautifully extracted, rich and layered, the 2015 Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande combines impressive concentration with remarkable precision and tension. Fine, gradually building tannins provide structure without overwhelming the succulent black fruit, delivering classic Pauillac character with exceptional refinement. Elegantly judged and beautifully balanced, it stands among the finest wines of the vintage.
97 Points - Jeb Dunnuck
A blend of 68% Cabernet Sauvignon, 29% Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, this nuanced Pichon Lalande continually gains complexity in the glass. Crème de cassis, black raspberries, spring flowers, leafy herbs and lead pencil lead into a full-bodied, ultra-pure and seamless palate. The generous Merlot component contributes a supple, seductive texture, complemented by fine tannins and an exceptionally long finish. A remarkably classy wine capable of evolving for another two to three decades.
