Description: Born in the reign of Louis XV, Joseph de Pichon-Longueville witnessed France’s three revolutions, five kings, two republics, and one empire. Through his work and commitment over 70 years, Joseph built a magnificent wine estate with 50 hectares under vine. Being worthy of the founding Countess and those who have built the reputation of Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande wines for more than two centuries is not about simply repeating what has already been done before. It is about continuing to make progress, researching, innovating, calling their practices into question, moving with the times, and looking ahead to the future.
This wine is distinctively Pauillac on the nose with loads of black fruit and gravel. Succulent yet silky texture in the mouth. Deep purple color indicating youth with aromas of underbrush, low hanging violets, and black cherry bramble. Dry entry on the palate with balanced alcohol and acid. The mid-palate is full of gravel, red currant, tobacco, and tar. The finish is long and refreshingly bright.
