Chateau Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande 2004
Located in the esteemed Pauillac region of Bordeaux, France, Chateau Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande is a historic Second Grand Cru Classé estate. Often referred to as a 'Super Second', the property is celebrated for its consistent quality and a winemaking philosophy that emphasizes elegance and a sensuous, velvety texture. In 2004, the estate was under the direction of Gildas d'Ornon, who successfully managed the harvest to produce one of the standout wines of a classic Bordeaux vintage.
Wine Description
The 2004 vintage presents a deep, dark ruby red colour that is almost opaque. The sensory profile is highly aromatic, featuring a complex nose of blackcurrants, blackberry, and plum, accented by notes of cedar, tobacco, chocolate, and earth. On the palate, this medium to full bodied wine is supple and fleshy, offering a silky texture with layers of dark red pit fruits, cocoa, and spice. It is characterized by an excellent balance of acidity and freshness, leading into a deep, long finish. This classic blend consists of 64% Cabernet Sauvignon, 29% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc, and 1% Petit Verdot. While it is currently mature and drinking beautifully, it possesses the structure to age well through 2031 to 2045.
