Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande 2016 is a benchmark Second Growth Bordeaux from the prestigious Pauillac appellation, crafted by the esteemed Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande. Renowned for its elegance-driven style within Pauillac, the estate produces wines that seamlessly combine power, precision, and refinement.
The 2016 Bordeaux vintage is widely regarded as one of the greatest modern vintages, delivering exceptional structure, purity, and ageing potential. A near-perfect growing season with ideal ripening conditions produced wines of remarkable balance, freshness, and depth. The 2016 Pichon Comtesse showcases a Cabernet Sauvignon-led blend supported by Merlot and Petit Verdot, resulting in a wine with both concentration and silky finesse.
Aged in French oak barrels, this Grand Cru Classé expresses layered black fruits, floral aromatics, graphite minerality, and refined oak complexity. While already impressive with decanting, it is built for long-term cellaring and will continue to evolve beautifully over decades.
