Description: Unveil the allure of Bordeaux with the Château Pichon Longueville 'Comtesse de Lalande' Grand Cru Classé 2004. This prestigious 750 mL bottle embodies the depth and elegance of one of the most respected estates in the Pauillac appellation. Known for its refined structure and longevity, the 2004 vintage offers a unique opportunity to experience a superbly aged classic.
Tasting Notes: The 2004 'Comtesse de Lalande' is an exquisite blend, primarily of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, with touches of Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc. It unfolds with an aromatic bouquet of ripe blackberries, cassis, and plums, enhanced by nuances of tobacco, cedar, and a hint of pepper. On the palate, it presents a rich tapestry of dark fruit flavors balanced by firm tannins and a refreshing acidity, leading to a finish that is both long and satisfying.
Vinification: Each varietal was meticulously harvested at its optimal ripeness, followed by traditional vinification methods to preserve the character and complexity of the grapes. Aged in French oak barrels, the wine has developed a graceful poise that typifies the grandeur of Château Pichon Longueville.
