Black-currant fruit aromas are also backed by a powerfully tannic wine. It is both elegant and concentrated, and its refined character comes from the stylish structure. The wine also has enormous potential. Drink from 2028.

A gorgeous fragrance on the nose, scented and deep with green peppercorns, blackcurrant leaf, cedar, tobacco and sweet cinammon. Succulent and juicy - the high acidity hits straight away. Lean and direct, but smooth, tannins have a faint graphite grip. Tangy alomst grapefruit on the palate with red berries and freshness throughout leading up to a long-lasting flavour at the end which is added to by a salty minerality. A subtle estate magic is on show. Still young and tight, this will need a few years before opening.

The 2021 Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande wafts from the glass with aromas of blackberries and minty cassis mingled with notes of violet, lavender, pencil shavings and rose petals. Medium to full-bodied, velvety and polished, it's beautifully seamless and complete, with a fleshy core of fruit, ripe acids and sweet, powdery tannins that assert themselves on the gently structured finish. This will offer a broad drinking window. It's one of the vintage's real successes, but it also represents only one-quarter of a "normal" production.

The Estate

Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse, a Second Growth in Pauillac since the 1855 Classification, embodies exceptional elegance. Founded in 1694 by Baron Jacques Pichon de Longueville, the estate was divided among his children, with the Comtesse portion going to his daughters. Now owned by Louis Roederer since 2007, the château has undergone significant renovations to maximize its terroir potential. Renowned for its balance, refinement, and depth, Pichon Longueville Comtesse produces wines that are sensual, seductive, and silky. Unusually approachable when young for a Médoc, due in part to a higher proportion of Merlot, the wine nonetheless possesses the tannic structure and richness to age beautifully for 10 to 20 years, solidifying its place among Bordeaux's finest.

Sun-Kissed Refinement

Timely rains in August refreshed the vines, while a perfect Indian summer allowed for harvesting at optimal maturity. The resulting wine combines the richness of the vintage with Pichon Comtesse's characteristic refinement and aromatic complexity.
