The 2010 Pichon Lalande is a profound and graceful expression of Pauillac, balancing concentration with refinement. Aromas of blackcurrant, plum, and violet mingle with cedar, graphite, cocoa, and exotic spice. The palate is layered and harmonious, with ripe fruit framed by polished tannins and a lively mineral backbone. While firmly structured, it exudes a sensuous texture and remarkable precision, finishing with persistence and elegance. A classic in the making, this vintage showcases the estate’s signature style and promises exceptional longevity, likely evolving beautifully over the next three decades.

Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande, often referred to as “Pichon Lalande,” is one of the most celebrated Second Growths of Pauillac, known for its elegance, charm, and distinctive style. Unlike its powerful neighbor, Pichon Baron, the Comtesse’s wines are noted for their higher proportion of Merlot and Cabernet Franc, which lend a softer, more seductive character. With vineyards on prime gravel soils near the Gironde estuary, the estate has long been admired for producing wines that combine Pauillac structure with Margaux-like finesse. It remains a benchmark for Left Bank Bordeaux, capable of long aging yet approachable in its youth.
