As one of the super 2nd that often produce frist growth quality Pichon-Longueville Comtesse de Lalande 2019 has been compared to its neighbour Chateau Latour. 2019 is not only one of the finest vintages for Pichon Comtesse - on par with 1982 or 1986 - but also one of the wines of the vintage. This is close to perfection but there remains one caveat. The estate has never followed the trend of modern Bordeaux winemaking exemplified by Michel Rolland that produces juicy fruit and plenty of charm for early drinking. Cellarage of 12 to 15 years is recommended before you approach this classic Pauillac.
Neil Martin Vinous 99 ...The 2020 Pichon-Longueville Comtesse de Lalande has one of the more opulent aromatic profiles amongst the flight of Pauillac wines, displaying black cherries, cassis, graphite and cedar. The palate is medium-bodied with svelte tannins and a silver bead of acidity. Silky smooth in texture, this retains impressive composure toward the finish, handling the weight of fruit with class. It improves with each swril, though the bottle I tasted just after bottling had a touch more precision. Nevertheless this [is] a fabulous Pauillac that flirts with perfection.
