Second Growth. Deuxieme Grand Cru Classe in 1855. Since 2007 Chateau Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande is owned by the Rouzaud family of Louis Roederer.
Expert tasting note: "Deep ruby-red but not quite opaque. The nose is stalky with leafy cassis & a little liquorice. Flavours are quite leafy but there is some attractive cassis fruit & coffee notes. The wine is quite light-bodied with fresh fruit. The finish lasts well. There is some potential to develop, but it is not a great wine." - 11/96 DCAMW

- Vineyard Notes
-
The Médoc stretches north of Bordeaux, nestled between the Atlantic Ocean and the Gironde Estuary. A remarkable region with particularly poor soils, consisting of gravel rises on clay subsoil. These light, well-drained soils, resulting from the slow drop in water levels during the Quaternary period, provide ideal conditions for the vines to reveal the outstanding quality of the terroir, under the protective influence of a highly favorable microclimate.

- Winemaking
-
Pichon Comtesse implemented a gravity-flow approach throughout the winemaking process, from the reception of the grapes to the moment the wines are put in barrel. Once fermentation is complete and the “free run juice” is run off, the must (the solid part consisting of the grape skins and seeds) is extracted from the vat and delicately pressed. The “press wines” are obtained using precision technology, under the supervision of an expert team. After rigorous selection, their structure will complement the smoother tannins extracted during fermentation to produce the perfect blend.

Vintage quality: Poor
Current condition: Likely past itFor Bordeaux, the 1992 vintage was less than impressive.
The winter was cold winter but eventually moved into a warm spring that prompted early flowering. However, these mild conditions were not to last, as the summer then saw the most rainfall of any summer in the past 5...
