Product details
Château Pichon-Longueville Comtesse de Lalande Pauillac 2006 is a distinguished Second Growth estate from the historic 1855 Classification, located in the heart of Pauillac within the renowned Médoc region. Guided for decades by the vision of May-Eliane de Lenquesaing, the property regained its prominence through meticulous vineyard management and an unwavering pursuit of finesse. Known for a relatively higher proportion of Merlot in its blend compared to neighboring estates, Pichon Lalande is celebrated for producing a more refined, aromatic, and approachable expression of Pauillac. The 2006 vintage reflects this signature elegance—structured yet polished, with the depth and balance that reward patient aging and careful cellaring over time.
The 2006 reveals impressive purity and linear cassis character, reminiscent of some of the estate’s most admired vintages. The bouquet is sensual and exotic, offering layered dark berry aromas intertwined with subtle spice and refined oak nuances. On the palate, it is full-bodied yet graceful, combining power with a silky texture that softens its impressive structure. Supple blackcurrant flavors glide seamlessly toward a long, velvety finish, creating a harmonious and cerebral experience. This Pauillac red blend pairs beautifully with light poultry and roasted meats, showcasing both sophistication and depth in every glass.
