Tasting Notes For Chateau Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande 2017

On the nose, this wine exudes an array of luxurious aromas, revealing layers of red and dark fruit, including succulent blueberry, black cherry, and blackcurrant. As you take a sip, you'll experience the well-balanced richness and fullness of its fleshy, powerful attack, followed by delicate notes of vanilla and spices that linger on the palate.

The silky, opulent tannins of Chateau Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande 2017 are a delight, leaving a crispness that enhances the wine's full-bodied character. The finish is precise and tantalizing, a testament to the typicity of the grapes and the wine's impressive tension and density.

Critic Ratings

Wine Spectator Review - Rated 96:
A touch old-school, featuring savory, tobacco and rosemary accents amid a core of concentrated black cherry, red currant and plum paste flavors. Slightly austere, with chalky minerality harnessing the finish. A savory edge peeks in at the last second. For fans of the style. Best from 2022 through 2035. — JM

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - Rated 96:
Composed of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot, the 2017 Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande has a medium to deep garnet-purple color and is a little closed to begin, soon revealing floral notes of lilacs and lavender over a core of black raspberries, warm blackberries and forest floor plus touches of star anise and stewed black tea. Medium-bodied, the palate is a bundle of energy and tension with softly played tannins and beautiful floral and black fruit layers, finishing with a long-lingering whisper.

Wine Enthusiast - Rated 95:
This smoky wine is structured and full of dry tannins. Acidity comes with the black-currant fruits that are slow to develop but will get there. Drink this wine from a great estate from 2024. 

 James Suckling - Rated 94:

A tight, compact young Bordeaux with medium body, polished and round tannins and a medium finish. Not a big wine, but some very classy currant and raspberry character and just a hint of lead pencil and polished structure. Drink after 2022.
