Vintage 2020

À Bordeaux, la chaleur a entraîné une floraison précoce. En outre, cela a conduit à une récolte précoce après un été très chaud. Comme point de départ, il y a une grande maturité dans les raisins, et on peut s’attendre à un millésime plus opulent que ces dernières années.

Written Notes

A highly sophisticated wine with intense purple colour, violet hue and black core. Great nose with complex approach, aroma reminiscent of blackberries, blackcurrants, black cherries, sloe and elderberries. Elegant balmy spices, hints of dark chocolate, cocoa and mocha in the background. On the palate excellent structure, depth and length, a wine with great precision, silky yet persistent tannins, fine acidity, multi-layered fruit and mild spices. A wine with great tension and very refined character.

2020  Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande Pauillac Deep, dark and almost opaque in hue, the perfume is intoxicating with its spice box, dark Cuban cigars, violets, lilacs, oak, savory herbs, roasted plums, currants and cigar box aromas. On the palate the wine is pure silk and velvet with layer after layer of supple textured fruits. Silky, sexy and sensuous, there is richness, depth of flavor, length and purity here that is a treat to feel and taste. The wine blends 77% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17% Merlot and 6% Cabernet Franc, 13.6% ABV 3.82 pH. Picking took place September 9 - September 30. Yields were low, 30 hectoliters per hectare, 60% of the harvest was placed into the Grand Vin. 97-99  Pts

Ruby. Cassis, fruit driven, blackberries, deep, vanilla, spices, intense and layered nose. Fresh acidity, ripe tannins, dark fruits, spices, liquorice, cassis, detailed, layered, firm and long. Maybe not the most seductive Comtesse made, but impressive, for sure. A masculine version. 97-99
