Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande, one of Pauillac’s most revered Second Growths, is known for its signature blend of power and grace. The 2020 vintage continues this legacy, showcasing the château’s deft balance of richness and refinement. A warm yet structured year, 2020 brought concentration without excess weight, resulting in a wine that is both intensely layered and classically proportioned.

Deep blackcurrant, blackberry, and dark cherry form the core, wrapped in Pauillac’s hallmark notes of graphite, cedar, and violets. Silky yet firm tannins give it a poised, structured frame, while a fresh, mineral-driven backbone ensures it will age beautifully for decades. While it’s tempting even now with a long decant, patience will be richly rewarded. A benchmark Left Bank wine that pairs effortlessly with roasted lamb, dry-aged beef, or simply an evening of quiet admiration.

Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

AG 98
"The 2020 Pichon-Longueville Comtesse de Lalande has a very intense bouquet with layers of black fruit, hints of seaweed/brine, crushed stone, and perhaps less mint than it displayed from barrel. This possesses stunning delineation, like a perfect C major chord echoing around an empty cathedral. The palate is very well balanced, much more classic in style than its barrel showing, saline to its core, with hints of brine. A Pauillac where you can really sense the Gironde estuary flowing through its veins. Nicolas Glumineau has one of his finest creations on his hands, and when it grows up, it will be challenging First Growths." -Vinous

Robert Parker

RP 97
"Deep purple-black in color, the 2020 Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande begins on a single, well-defined, wonderfully pure note of ripe blackcurrants, opening out to a melody of redcurrant jelly, kirsch, ripe blackberries and tar, with emerging suggestions of dark chocolate, cardamom, ground cloves and violets, with a waft of black truffles. Medium-bodied, tightly wound and with loads of fantastically nuanced black fruit layers, it has a rock-solid frame of finely grained tannins and bags of freshness, finishing long and mineral laced."

Decanter

D 98
"Smooth, seductive and finely textured, this is both sleek and strict, with a savoury, crushed stone saline tang alongside tobacco, tar, ripe black cherries and soft floral scents; the Cabernet really makes its mark. Sexy and rich, less immediately charming than the 2019 was at this point - it’s more restricted and coiled but more sophisticated, elegant and refreshing - a wine you want to sit and think about while the aromas and flavours open and evolve. Lovely definition, weight and texture overall. A clear stand out."

Wine Spectator

WS 97
"A wow wine. This is packed with cassis, loganberry and mulberry flavors that hint at the vintage's warmth, but this stays poised and fresh, with a sleek structure built on graphite and iron. Offers violet and lilac lift in the background and a groundswell of sweet tobacco, savory and singed cedar details that emerge through the finish, all with a fine-grained and rather luxurious feel. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc."

Wine Enthusiast

WE 97
"Tannins and fruits march in step with each other to give this wine style and elegance. The structure is supple and the tannins smoothing, while still keeping great aging potential."
