Pichon Lalande 1982

HED81156 75cl 13%
For many lovers of Bordeaux, Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande is often seen as one of the benchmark producers from Pauillac and is well-known for wines that offer wonderfully ripe fruit, sumptuous texture and deep savoury complexity. 1982 was widely regarded as one of the greatest vintages of the previous Century and this is a profound expression of the appellation and producer.
The 1982 Pichon-Longueville Comtesse de Lalande is a benchmark vintage for the estate, although I have not encountered a perfect bottle for around 20 years, when I believe the wine was at its height. Still, this is a lovely Pauillac with plush black and blue fruit on the nose, like before, almost Margaux-like in terms of its crushed violet component. The palate is ripe and rich on the entry thanks to the contribution of the Merlot, yet there is such panache and swagger that you instantly fall for its charm. Melted tar and pencil shavings on the very persistent finish. Just a very very gorgeous wine. Tasted at the 1982 Dinner at Hatched. - Neil Martin

Chateau Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande

Chateau Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande

Also known by the full name of Château Pichon-Longueville Comtesse de Lalande, the estate is celebrated for its Grand Vin, a Pauillac Second Growth which is a wonderfully vibrant red with well-structured, characterful tannins. Seen as one of the benchmark producers from Pauillac and well-known for wines that offer beautifully ripe fruit, sumptuous texture and deep savoury complexity.

With currently 74 hectares of vineyards in production, 50% is used to produce the first wine, whilst the remaining 50% - from younger vines- goes into producing the estate's second wine, Pichon Comtesse Réserve (known as Réserve de la Comtesse prior to 2017). Key varieties are the classic red Bordeaux grapes: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot.
