Chateau Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande, 2nd Growth, Grand Cru Classe 2010

Rock-solid, with a classic Pauillac profile of cassis, iron and graphite. Layers of blueberry, blackberry and boysenberry fruit cover the grip for now, but there's serious muscle for the longer haul, revealing a lingering pastis hint. Structured, backward and tannic, yet showing a fat mid-palate that is more savory, broader and more expansive.

Winery Info/Brand

The Pichon Baron estate was established in the late 17th Century, also known as the Grand Siècle, in reference to Louis XIV's succession to the French throne in 1661. The producing region was classified as Second Cru Classé in 1855 and became one of the great historic vineyards of Bordeaux. With a rigorous selection policy in the vineyard and in the cellars, the production of a Grand Vin Château Pichon Baron, has achieved an endearing reputation and continued the legacy in the same family for several generations.

Region Info/Origin

Pauillac is home to several of the world's most famous wine and the region lies in an inauspicious small village in Médoc. Pauillac sprawls over the land size of about 8.8 square miles, is highly optimised for wine production and accounts for a rather disproportionate amount of fine, expensive wine in Bordeaux.
