What to Expect

Arguably the most renowned wines on earth, the classed growths of Bordeaux continue to epitomize the power and complexity Bordeaux blends are capable of. While most wines here are based on Cabernet Sauvignon, both Merlot and Cabernet Franc play important roles in adding layered complexity to the finished wines, and allow winemakers in each commune within the region to use the blend that is best suited to their unique combination of soil and meso-climate. The most famous communes each have their own classic traits with St. Estephe giving full, if rustic wines, from the heavy clay soils, to Paulliac's elegant balance of ripe fruits, minerality and structure to St. Julien's rich blackberry core and supple feel. Moving to the South of the region brings one to Margaux, with its notes of flowers and berries draped over a feminine frame, and then to the Graves region with wines redolent of tobacco, gravel and smoke. To the East lies the famous appellations of St. Emillion, with its wonderfully ripe Cabernet Franc, and Pomerol where Merlot rules the roost and produces deep, plush wines of uncommon refinement.

Winemakers Notes

"This has been the most sumptous delicious and profound 1982 to drink over the last 5 to 6 years... its unctuous and lavish quantities should continue to drink well for another 10 to 12 years" 99/100 points R. Parker Jnr. "Bordeaux" 3rd ed.

A voluptuous red. Very dark ruby-garnet. Aromas of currant, meat and berries. Full-bodied and velvety, with lovely ripe berry and earth and a long, ripe finish of caressing texture. This has always been a great wine... Wine Spectator. A Bordeaux Blend wine from Bordeaux in France. 1982 Pichon-Longueville Comtesse de Lalande 750ml

Decanter

Rating: 0/5 - As reviewed by Decanter 1982 Pichon Lalande is an unusual style, with an over-ripe, exotic quality which David Peppercorn finds 'irresistable'. It was the first case of 'serious' wine Andrew Jefford ever bought, using £250 which his great-aunt left him. 'It cost about £90 in 1984,' he says. 'Needless to say, it was an extremely lucky hit.' Although calssified as a Pauillac, one third of the Pichon vineyard is actually in Saint-Julien. Ownership of the estate was decided in 1978 by family members drawing lots after a bitter feud.
