  • Goedhuis Waddesdon, April 2024, Score: 96-98

    Unquestionably one of the wines of the vintage. A combination of Lalande’s wonderful terroir and Nicolas Glumineau’s masterful direction, both in the vineyard and winery. The biodynamic strategy meant attention to detail was paramount to the success of the vintage during the early summer months. Whilst the focus is with the 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, the estate’s reputation for including some silky Merlot charm has not been neglected, as it makes up 17% of the blend. Luxurious and perfumed, blueberry, violet and lavender fields above a smattering of cinnamon. Exquisitely polished, with a feeling of seductive charm, its silky gracefulness almost belies the fact that there is a wine of brooding power and depth beneath, quietly reminding you of its Pauillac origins. Long and lingering and huge quality. A must-have!

  • Neal Martin, April 2024, Score: 96-98

    The 2023 Pichon-Longueville Comtesse de Lalande was picked from September 6 until 29, with some rain on September 20 in the middle of Cabernet picking. But, Nicolas Glumineau remarked that the vineyard/fruit was in good condition; one day of rain did not affect the quality. The 2023 has a quintessential Comtesse bouquet, displaying pure and expressive black fruit laced with violet and graphite, delivered with impressive delineation. The palate is very refined on the entry. This is armed with beguiling symmetry—poised yet intense on the finish. It doesn’t exert huge grip because it knows it doesn't need to, and it fans out gloriously. Outstanding. Drink 2029-2060.

  • Antonio Galloni, April 2024, Score: 95-98

    The 2023 Pichon-Longueville Comtesse de Lalande marries elegance, power and sophistication. Soft, ripe tannins wrap around a core of inky dark fruit, licorice, spice, pencil shavings, lavender and menthol. Bright acids pull it all together on the finish. In 2023, Pichon Comtesse blends Merlot picked early for freshness and Cabernets picked later for tannin ripeness and flavor complexity. Readers will have to be patient, but the 2023 holds considerable promise for those who can wait. led by General Manager Nicolas Glumineau. Drink 2033-2073.

  • Wine Advocate, April 2024, Score: 97-99

    The 2023 Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande is a brilliant wine that will be worth a special effort to track down. Unwinding in the glass with aromas of wild berries and cassis mingled with licorice, lilac, iris root, violet, burning embers and pencil shavings, it's medium to full-bodied, seamless and complete, with a deep, layered core of cool fruit that largely conceals it's ultra-refined structuring tannins. At a very measured 13% alcohol and 3.67 pH, it unites all Pichon Comtesse's sensuality with unimpeachable Pauillac classicism. The 2023 is a blend of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17% Merlot and 3% Cabernet Franc.

  • James Suckling, April 2024, Score: 98-99

    Wow. This is really excellent, with superb finesse and focus. It has tight density that is almost diamond-like in its brilliance. Medium to full body, with a quality of tannin that is incredibly seamless. Like silk in texture. A top Pichon Lalande. From organic and biodynamically grown grapes. 80% cabernet sauvignon, 17% merlot and 3% cabernet franc. May be better than 2022.

    Winemaker Nicolas Glumineau said he “Really enjoyed making this wine”. I must admit that I really enjoyed tasting it, too. This is an awe-inspiring creation in the 2023 vintage, and it is one of a finite number of ’23s that eclipses its 2022 stablemate. This stunning wine has both Pauillac and Pichon Lalande styles in spades. It is a time-traveller with back-tothe-future skills like no other. While my Pichon knowledge only goes back so far, I can detect traits from ’66, ’86, 2010, 2019 and 2020 in this epic amalgam of eras and styles, yet this wine appears to eclipse them all. This is already one of the finest 2023 wines on the Left Bank, with spectacular fruit clarity balanced by tear-jerking tenderness. These dynamic components are mirrored by glistening sinew and monastic control. It is simply stunning.

Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande

This 2ème Cru Classé Pauillac estate was once merged with neighbouring Pichon Baron to form a much larger domaine. Due to inheritance problems, it was split in 1850 between only two children - one being Virginie de Lalande née de Pichon Longueville. The Lalande family sold the property in 1925 to Edouard and Louis de Miailhe. It remained in their family until Edouard's daughter, May Eliane de Lencquesaing, sold it to Louis ...Read more

Region

Pauillac

Due south of St Estèphe lies the appellation of Pauillac, the king of Left Bank communes. It is home to three first growths as well as a plethora of other classified growths. Pauillac's renowned well-draining, gravelly soils enable its dominant grape Cabernet Sauvignon to reach fantastic heights of complexity and concentration. As a result, Pauilac's wines tend to be full-bodied with compact tannins and good freshness. Its aromatics are often what one associates with classic Bordeaux: pencil shavings, black currant and occasional mint. Some of the most famous châteaux of the commune are Latour, Mouton Rothschild, Lafite Rothschild, Pichon Baron, Pichon Lalande and Lynch Bages.
