Pichon Lalande 2021 — blackcurrant, violets and graphite from one of Pauillac’s most esteemed estates.
Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande traces its story to the seventeenth century and the great Pichon estate; since 2007 it has been owned by the Rouzaud family. This is the estate’s grand vin, and its style is a Pauillac signature — power dressed in elegance.
The 2021 blends Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, aged in new French oak barrels. Full-bodied and structured, with a core of ripe dark fruit held by firm yet silky tannins, threads of spice and minerality, and a long, lingering finish. It drinks with a decant now, but this is a wine built to age — expect more complexity with every year in the cellar.
Serve with: grilled ribeye, braised lamb shanks, hearty stews, mushroom dishes, or mature cheeses.
