位於波爾多Pauillac村最南端的Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande(一般簡稱為Ch. Pichon Lalande 伯爵夫人堡)與另一座知名的二級堡Chateau
Pichon-Longueville Baron（簡稱﹕Pichon Baron男爵堡）原為一家，1850年分家產時，Edouard
Miailhe的長子Raoul男伯爵繼承了五分之二的園區也就是現在的Pichon
Baron，其餘的五分之三由三個女兒繼承，後來由其中一位女兒Comtesse de Lalande拉隆伯爵夫人取得全部的股份。自從十九世紀由Lalande伯爵夫人繼承之後，一直維持著卓越的聲譽；本酒莊在1855年的分級中評為二級酒莊，並且名列所謂的「超級二級酒莊(Super Second)」之一。自2006年起本酒莊成為著名的Louis Roederer香檳家族的產業，延續了其優異的品質和聲譽。
在以強勁紮實著稱的Pauillac產區中，Château
Pichon
Lalande擁有獨樹一格的高貴優雅酒質，與其伯爵夫人的稱號巧妙地相應：它的酒質可以在年輕時就非常美味，充滿豐富甜美的果味，然而適當陳年之後，又會展現Pauillac一流美酒的優雅與紮實，而且它的酒質表現近十幾年來越來越精彩，無怪乎它們的酒在全世界都一直是深受鑑賞家們的喜愛。
*1998 WA: 88 Drink: 2001-2017
Aromas of tobacco smoke, cedar, cherries, and black currants emerge from the moderately intense, complex bouquet. This wine has evolved nicely, revealing less austerity than it did last year in its medium-weight, delicate personality. Drink it over the next 15-16 years.
2002 WA: 94 Drink: 2010-2025
One of the best wines of the vintage, this is a classic Pauillac that is a blend of 51% Cabernet Sauvignon, 34% Merlot, 9% Cabernet Franc, and 6% Petit Verdot. Dense ruby/purple in color with a glorious nose of melted licorice, lavender, barbecue smoke, black currants, and graphite, the wine is tannic, classically structured with an opaque ruby/purple color, beautiful definition, and a 1996-ish personality. This deep, full-bodied, elegant yet powerful 2002 should age handsomely for over two decades. Some patience will be required since this vintage exhibits more muscle and virility than normal. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2025.
*2003 WA: 95 Drink: 2014-2026
Made from a blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 31% Merlot and 4% Petit Verdot, this spectacular 2003 hits all the sweet spots on the palate. A glorious bouquet of cedarwood, jammy black currants, cherries, licorice and truffle is followed by a dense, opulently textured, full-bodied wine with terrific purity and freshness as well as deep, velvety textured tannins. Enjoy this beauty over the next 10-12 years.
*2004 WA: 94 Drink: 2020-2045
The 2004 Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande is showing beautifully, wafting from the glass with aromas of rich dark berry fruit, cigar wrapper and loamy soil. Medium to full-bodied, fleshy and enveloping, with velvety tannins and a seamless, charming profile, it is really beginning to drink with some style. It's one of the wines of the vintage and continues to represent terrific value.
*2005 WA: 89 Drink: 2015-2030
The 2005 Pichon Lalande, with its aromatics of cassis, forest floor and earth are followed by a medium-bodied wine that doesn’t have quite the length and richness the aromatics suggest. Nevertheless, it is medium-bodied, elegant, and pure, and a classic example for this château. Drink it now as well as over the next 15 or so years. It is showing better than my earlier notes suggest.
*2006 WA: 94 Drink: 2018-2040
Tasted at the property, the 2006 Château Pichon-Lalande has a voluminous bouquet with outgoing blackberry, cassis and violets scents, a touch of boysenberry jam tucked just underneath, although it does not quite have the delineation of the Lynch Bages. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin. This feels very composed in the mouth, quite fresh with well-judged acidity, harmonious and tensile on the finish. This deserves a higher score than I awarded out of barrel and it continues to improve year by year. Tasted April 2016.
