Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande 2002 — Pauillac
This Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande 2002 embodies a mature, elegant and profoundly classical expression of Pauillac. An emblematic Grand Cru Classé of the Médoc, located among the finest terroirs of the appellation, Pichon Comtesse is known for a refined, silky style and great aromatic distinction.
After more than twenty years of evolution, the 2002 vintage reveals a finely polished Bordeaux profile: cassis, blackberry, black cherry, plum, cedar, graphite, blond tobacco, violet, sweet spices, delicate leather, forest floor, fresh earth and a mineral finish. Today, the wine favours balance, finesse and evolved complexity rather than immediate power.
The spirit of the wine
A mature, fine and refined Pauillac, where Médoc structure is expressed through velvety texture and great elegance. The wine combines time-polished black fruit, cedar, graphite, tobacco, violet, fine leather and forest floor, with a supple, fresh, harmonious and persistent palate. A classical, delicate bottle marked by the distinguished signature of Pichon Comtesse.
Terroir: Pauillac, deep gravel and Médoc elegance
The terroir of Pauillac rests on deep gravel rises, perfectly suited to Cabernet Sauvignon. At Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande, this structure is often associated with a more caressing texture, great aromatic finesse and an almost feminine elegance, carried by cassis, cedar, graphite, blond tobacco and persistent mineral freshness.
Tasting notes
Appearance: evolved garnet, with dark ruby and slightly brick-toned reflections depending on storage, typical of a mature fine Bordeaux.
Nose: elegant and evolved, with cassis, blackberry, black cherry, plum, cedar, graphite, blond tobacco, violet, sweet spices, fine leather, forest floor and fresh earth.
Palate: supple, velvety and fresh, with melted tannins, time-polished black fruit and fine aromatic continuity. The finish is long, delicately spicy, lightly mineral and very classical. Open with care, without excessive aeration, in order to preserve its evolved finesse.
