Chateau Pichon Lalande 2000

Second Growth. Deuxieme Grand Cru Classe in 1855. Since 2007 Chateau Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande is owned by the Rouzaud family of Louis Roederer.

Expert tasting note: "Almost opaque, purple highlights complement a ruby-red core. Plenty of ripe dark fruit aromas are complexed by blackcurrant-leaf & cedar notes. The palate initially displays lively cassis & lovely supple tannins. This medium to full-bodied wine is harmony personified - acidity is lively and fresh but not sharp, tannins silky, alcohol doesn’t stand out & oak is beautifully balanced. The finish is long and elegant." - 8/11 DCAMW
