Description

Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande is a Second Growth of 1855 whose vineyards straddle the border between Pauillac and Saint-Julien. A historically generous share of Merlot gives this estate its famous suppleness and charm.

The vintage 2006. 2006 is a classic vintage of firm structure and freshness, now opening into savoury, cedary complexity.

Black cherry, cassis and plum, violet and sweet spice, with cedar and graphite in the background. Velvety tannins, a seamless texture and a long, perfumed finish.

Service & pairing. Serve at 16–17 °C after a gentle decanting. Beautiful with roast duck, veal with morels, lamb noisettes or a mature Brie de Meaux.
