2009 Château Pichon Comtesse de Lalande WA97+ D97 Premier Grand Cru

Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande 2009

Pauillac Grandeur from Bordeaux’s Historic Vintage

Experience the legendary 2009 vintage from Château Pichon Lalande—a crown jewel of Pauillac celebrated for its power and elegance. This Bordeaux red blend unfolds with seductive layers of blackcurrant cordial, stewed plums, and warm black cherries, elegantly intertwined with earthy whispers of damp soil, tobacco leaf, and smoked cedar.

Critics unanimously hail its brilliance:
– 97 Points Wine Advocate: “Classic structure with tightly wound fruit, fine-grained tannins, and vibrant freshness.”
– 97 Points Decanter: “Intense damson fruits balanced by silky tannins—juicy, mineral-driven perfection.”
– 96 Points James Suckling: “Exquisite finesse recalling the iconic ’82 vintage; blackberry and spice kissed by fresh herbs.”

Medium to full-bodied yet remarkably poised, it delivers concentrated flavors of fig paste and licorice lifted by a mouthwatering iron edge. Ripe Merlot softness harmonizes with Cabernet Sauvignon’s backbone, while integrated tannins promise graceful evolution. Approachable now yet built for longevity—peak drinking from 2024 through 2040+ as suggested by Wine Spectator’s 94-point endorsement.
