Pichon Lalande 2019
CRITIC REVIEWS
Lisa Perrotti-Brown
The 2019 Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande is composed of 71% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Merlot, and 6% Cabernet Franc. Deep garnet-purple in color, it features notions of cedar chest and menthol to begin, giving way to a core of blackcurrant pastilles, black cherries, and fragrant soil with a waft of wild sage. The medium to full-bodied palate is rich and dense, with firm tannins and a long spicy finish.
Jeb Dunnuck
Pure class, the 2019 Château Pichon-Longueville Comtesse De Lalande is another brilliant wine from director Nicolas Glumineau that checks in at the top of the vintage. A blend of 71% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Merlot, and 6% Cabernet Franc that was harvested from mid-September through October 8th. Brought up in roughly 60% new French oak, it hit 14.1% natural alcohol with a pH of 3.7. More elegant and poised from bottle than barrel, it offers a brilliant perfume of crème de cassis, lead pencil shavings, tobacco leaf, damp earth, and graphite. Deep, full-bodied, and pure perfection on the palate, it has this incredible marriage of Latour-like stature and regalness buffered by wonderful, sexy, seamless fruit, which no doubt comes from the higher Merlot content and makes Comtesse de Lalande so singular and unique. It builds slowly with time in the glass and has remarkable purity of fruit, ultra-fine tannins, perfect balance, and a finish that just begs you to pour another glass. It has a seductive, seamless profile that offers pleasure even today (although it needs lots of air to show at its best) yet needs 7-8 years of bottle age to hit the early stages of its prime drink window and will evolve for another 40-50 years if stored properly.
