The 2015 Pichon Lalande magnum opens with a medium‑to‑deep garnet hue and a profoundly elegant nose featuring blackcurrant liqueur, wild blueberry, Morello cherry, violet petals, graphite and a subtle hint of truffle.  On the palate, the wine presents a harmonious interplay of ripe dark‑fruited richness and bright freshness, underpinned by fine, polished tannins and a strong mineral framework.  Mid‑palate layers include hints of cedar chest, tobacco leaf, crushed stone and graphite, bringing depth and tension alongside generosity of fruit. The grand format magnifies texture and impact, offering a long, expansive finish that echoes cherry pit, dark cocoa, graphite and a saline‑inflected mineral ending.  While highly approachable today with decanting, this extraordinary 2015 is built for cellaring—expect 15‑20+ years of evolution, with the magnum format enhancing maturation and longevity. 

Located in the Pauillac appellation on Bordeaux’s Left Bank, Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande (Pichon Lalande) is one of the famed 1855 Second Growths, distinguished by its unique blend of power, elegance and finesse.  The estate combines vineyards on gravel‑top clay and limestone soils, hand‑harvested fruit, fermentations in temperature‑controlled vats and ageing in French oak (typically ~60% new barrels) to ensure both structure and ageing potential.  Under the stewardship of the Roederer Group, Pichon Lalande continues to refine its precision style—silky tannins, aromatic complexity and longevity—while retaining its hallmark sensuality and balance.
