Lobenberg: Eine baugleiche Zweitweinversion des überragemden Erstweins, etwas schlanker, etwas eleganter, aber durchaus spannend und erstaunlich typisch Pichon Lalande, bravo! 94/100

Suckling über: Chateau Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande Reserve de la Comtesse

-- Suckling: Aromas of dried violets, blackcurrants, oyster shells, ink and bitter chocolate. It’s medium-to full-bodied with firm, tight-grained tannins. Concentrated and tight with an nicely austere finish. Needs a few years to soften. Second wine of Pichon Lalande. Try from 2025. 94/100

Jeb Dunnuck über: Chateau Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande Reserve de la Comtesse

-- Jeb Dunnuck: The second wine of the Château, the 2018 Reserve De Comtesse De Lalande checks in as 53% Cabernet Sauvignon and 42% Merlot, with the balance Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc. Terrific classic Pauillac notes of blackcurrants, lead pencil shavings, leafy tobacco, and chocolate define this beauty, and it's medium to full-bodied, with a layered, balanced, pure character, present yet ripe tannins, and a great finish. As I wrote last year, it tastes more like a Grand Vin than a second wine. The larger Merlot component shows here compared to its more Cabernet Sauvignon-dominated big brother, and it's a much more plush, silky, sexy wine that already offers loads of pleasure. It's going to evolve for two decades and is well worth seeking out. 94/100

Decanter über: Chateau Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande Reserve de la Comtesse

-- Decanter: As with the first wine of Comtesse, this is one to look out for in 2018. It’s seductive but with a minerality and pull through the palate joined by plush raspberry and damson fruits – so much depth but also so pretty. As the tannins close in the finish is a little tighter than the mid-palate and when you return to it after tasting the first wine the fruit flavours have been joined by liquorice and touches of woodsmoke, it’s delicious. 93/100

Falstaff über: Chateau Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande Reserve de la Comtesse

-- Falstaff: Kräftiges Rubingranat, zarte Ockerreflexe, breitere Randaufhellung. Zarte Röstaromen, feine Nuancen von Cassis und Brombeerkonfit, ein Hauch von Nougat, attraktives Bukett. Saftig, reife rote Kirschen, samtige, reife Tannine, angenehme Extraktsüße und Frische im Abgang, mineralisch und anhaftend, gutes Reifepotenzial. 93/100

Parker über: Chateau Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande Reserve de la Comtesse

-- Parker: Most of the plots that were planted since 2011 have gone into this. This second wine represents 41% of the crop. A blend of 53% Cabernet Sauvignon, 42% Merlot, 4% Petit Verdot and 1% Cabernet Franc, the very deep purple-black colored 2018 Reserve de la Comtesse opens slowly to offers glimpses and dusty soil, Sichuan pepper, garrigue and tobacco over a core of warm black cherries, cassis and blackberry pie plus a waft of crushed rocks. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is packed with juicy black fruits and loads of earth/mineral nuances, finishing with lovely freshness and a quiet intensity. Very impressive. 92-94+/100

Mein Winzer

Pichon Lalande

1850 wurden das Weingut Pichon Longeville wegen eines Erbschaftsfalls geteilt. Eine Hälfte erbte Virginie de Lalande, die noch vor Antritt ihres Erbes den Grafen Henri de Lalande geheiratet hatte. So kam der etwas umständlich lange Name Chateau Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande zustande.
