2017 Chateau Pichon Comtesse De Lalande

The 2017 Chateau Pichon Comtesse De Lalande from Pauillac, Bordeaux, France is a beautifully crafted Bordeaux blend that truly captures the essence of its origin. The wine boasts a deep ruby colour with hints of violet at the rim. Upon first whiff, one is greeted with an enticing bouquet of ripe blackberries, cassis, and dark chocolate, followed by subtle notes of cedar, tobacco, and a touch of vanilla from the oak aging. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied with silky tannins and a perfect balance of fruit and oak. Flavours of dark cherries, plums, and a hint of licorice dance on the tongue, with a long, lingering finish that leaves a touch of spice on the back of the palate. This 2017 vintage is a true reflection of the quality and expertise of Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande. A must-try for any wine enthusiast.
