Nose : Complexe et séduisant. Des arômes de fruits noirs mûrs, tels que la cerise noire et la mûre, se mêlent à des notes de cassis et de prune. On peut également percevoir des nuances de tabac, de cèdre, de réglisse et de terre humide, qui ajoutent de la profondeur et de l'élégance à l'ensemble.

Palate : Veloutée et une structure bien équilibrée. Les tanins sont fondus et soyeux, signe d'une bonne évolution dans la bouteille. Les saveurs de fruits noirs se déploient harmonieusement, accompagnées de notes de chocolat noir, de vanille et de tabac. La finale est longue et persistante, laissant une impression agréable en bouche.

Food Pairings : Carré d'agneau rôti aux herbes, Filet de bœuf aux morilles, Canard rôti aux cerises, avec des fromages affinés et du chocolat noir.

]]> Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande, also known as Pichon Lalande, is an iconic wine estate in the Pauillac appellation on the left bank of the Bordeaux region of France. Its history dates back to the 17th century. The estate was created by Pierre de Mazure de Rauzan in the early 18th century, when he acquired part of the vast Rauzan vineyard in Pauillac. At the time, it was known as Château Pichon Longueville. The vineyard grew over the years, thanks in particular to the acquisition of adjacent land. In 1850, the de Pichon Longueville family inherited the estate and, through the marriage of Sophie de Pichon Longueville to Count Henri de Lalande, the name was changed to Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande. The estate has known periods of glory and decline throughout its history. In the 19th century, it was renowned for producing wines of exceptional quality, and was often ranked among the top Bordeaux crus. During the phylloxera crisis at the end of the 19th century, the estate was forced to reduce its surface area and suffered economic difficulties.

However, from the mid-twentieth century onwards, Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande enjoyed a renaissance thanks to passionate and determined owners. In 1978, the de Lencquesaing family took over the reins of the estate and undertook major investments to restore the vines, modernise the facilities and improve the quality of the wines. Under the leadership of May-Éliane de Lencquesaing, the estate has become world-renowned for its exceptional wines. Pichon Lalande wines are distinguished by their elegance, complexity and ability to age gracefully.

In 2007, the Rouzaud family, owners of the Louis Roederer champagne house, acquired Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande. They have continued to invest in the estate and preserve Pichon Lalande's tradition of excellence. Today, the estate covers around 85 hectares of vines, planted mainly with Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. The château also produces a second wine called "Réserve de la Comtesse", as well as a white wine under the "Pauillac" appellation. Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande remains a symbol of Bordeaux excellence, combining tradition, history and expertise to produce top-quality wines that are appreciated by wine-lovers the world over.
