Chateau Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande 2017

Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande 2017 is a classic Pauillac expression built on a foundation of Cabernet Sauvignon (70%), supported by Merlot (23%), Cabernet Franc (6%), and Petit Verdot (1%). The wine displays the hallmark structure of Left Bank Bordeaux: medium-full body with balanced tannins and medium acidity that frame layers of dark fruit, cedar, and mineral character. Primary notes of blackcurrant and plum give way to secondary cedar and spice from oak aging, with tertiary tobacco and leather complexity emerging as the wine develops. Food-friendly and age-worthy, this blend suits grilled red meats, lamb, and braised beef preparations, as well as aged hard cheeses and earthy mushroom dishes.
