We have a collection of similar vintages along with two of my favorite old vintages 19.

We had a tasting on the Calendar for Chateau Pichon Lalande Comtesse de Lalande but had to reschedule that event which will take place in the month of May. We have done a lot of scientific work with Bordeaux this year and our course in vintage Pauillac continues with the other Pichon. I am more a fan of middle aged in terms of wines but we like to experiment at Wine Watch to see when the optimum time is to enjoy certain wines. Oliver Goldsmith, The Vicar of Wakefield Perhaps more than any other Château in Bordeaux, Pichon-Lalande has benefited from what can only be called a distinctively feminine touch.“I love everything that is old old friends, old times, old manners, old books, old wines. A true champion of Bordeaux, May-Eliane traveled the world to promote her château and oversaw its expansion by nearly 50%. Before long, the château came under the direction of yet another formidable female, Eduoard’s daughter May-Eliane de Lencquesaing. In 1925, Pichon-Lalande was purchased by brothers Louis and Eduoard Miailhe, who were responsible for the estate’s increase in Merlot. The remaining two fifths eventually became the equally well-known Pichon Longueville-Baron. This decision broke up the estate and ushered in the ascendance of his daughter, Virginie de Lalande, who eagerly managed the women’s portion with passion and pride, and chose to give it her name. Initially influenced by its founder’s daughters - Therese de Rauzan, Germaine de Lajus and Marie Branda de Terrefort – it was inherited by Therese’s son, Baron Joseph de Pichon Longueville, who, before his death in 1850, bequeathed the land among his five children equally, with two fifths going to his two sons, and the other three fifths to his three daughters. Supple and fruity, it presents a unique balance of softness and richness that has secured its place among Pauillac’s best.įounded by successful Bordeaux trader Pierre de Mazure de Rauzan, Pichon-Lalande has long been considered an estate blessed by strong women. This may be attributed to the wine’s high percentage of its beloved Merlot. With a reputation that rivals the commune’s three most famous first growths – Latour, Lafite-Rothschild and Mouton-Rothschild – Pichon-Lalande carries a depth and elegance that that allows it to be enjoyed young, but perhaps even more savored decades after harvest. Dating back to the 17th century, the wines hailing from Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande, or Pichon-Lalande, are still among of Pauillac’s most sought-after.
