Pichon Lalande成奶妊B在於用人唯才，聘請波爾多釀酒大師Pascal Ribereau-Gayon負責園內釀酒的大任，Pascal是Leoville Lascases與Petrus釀酒師Emile Paynaud裴諾大師的徒弟。除此本莊園採用高比率的美露品種，所釀之酒「新舊皆宜」，年輕即可飲用，有豐郁的果香與適中的單寧，她也可陳年10-20年以上，成熟時有拉圖堡的氣息，酒質肥厚且柔順，單寧高雅不澀口，也是款“super second”超級二級酒堡，與St-Julien區的二級酒Chateau Leoville Lascase常互別苗頭。
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。無怪乎它們的酒在全世界都一直是深受鑑賞家們的喜愛。

While bottles that have been traded or traveled extensively are beginning to tire, I was fortunate to buy a case of the 1982 Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande from a cold cellar in Alsace where it had remained unmoved since release. Given impeccable storage such as this, the wine remains simply remarkable and numbers one of the vintage's greatest achievements. Soaring from the glass with aromas of cassis and blackberries mingled with hints of cigar wrapper, dark chocolate, licorice and violets, it's medium to full-bodied, broad and velvety, with a sensual and enveloping core of fruit, rich but melted tannins and a long, resonant finish. Seamless and complete, I'd choose a pristine bottle of the 1982 Pichon Lalande over any of the Pauillac first growths, and I'm trying to ration my remaining half-dozen bottles without much success.
