Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande Réserve de la Comtesse Pauillac 2017 is the elegant second wine of Château Pichon-Longueville Comtesse de Lalande, one of Pauillac’s most prestigious estates. Crafted with precision and the same philosophy as the Grand Vin, this vintage reflects the challenges and balance of the 2017 Bordeaux growing season. The blend is composed of approximately 60 percent Cabernet Sauvignon, 36 percent Merlot, with small amounts of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, resulting in a wine that combines structure with approachability.

In the glass, the wine presents a deep garnet to ruby color with vibrant intensity. The nose is expressive and layered, offering aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, and dark cherry, complemented by notes of violet, cedar, cocoa, and subtle spice. On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with a smooth and refined texture, supported by fine tannins and fresh acidity. The fruit is bright and precise, leading to a balanced, elegant finish with hints of earth, spice, and minerality.

Critics have praised the 2017 vintage for its finesse, freshness, and classic Pauillac character. James Suckling awarded it around 92 to 93 points, highlighting its silky tannins and fresh finish, while other critics noted its balance, aromatic complexity, and refined structure. This vintage is approachable earlier than more powerful years, yet still offers good aging potential over the next decade.
