2017 Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande Pauillac red
Description
Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande is one of the most significant in Pauillac. Neighbouring the first growth powerhouse, Château Latour, with whom the estate shares a similar terroir and climate, its wines are of extreme quality, sometimes referred to as "the best in the region".
This wine composed of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot, the 2017 Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande has a medium to deep purple colour, revealing brief floral notes of lilac and lavender over a profile of black fruit, touch of star anise and black tea.
