2017 Château Pichon Comtesse Magnum (1.5L) from Pauillac
An iconic Deuxième Grand Cru Classé in the prestigious Magnum format
The 2017 Château Pichon Comtesse Magnum (1.5L) ranks among the very best of Pauillac. Château Pichon-Longueville Comtesse de Lalande is one of the most prestigious Deuxième Grands Crus Classés from the 1855 classification and is known worldwide for its exceptional elegance, refinement, and impressive aging potential. Thanks to the Magnum format, the wine develops even more slowly and harmoniously than in a standard bottle.
The 2017 vintage produced a classic Bordeaux with great precision, freshness, and elegance. The blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot results in a wine with refined tannins, beautiful aromatic complexity, and impressive length. The Magnum bottle makes this version particularly popular among collectors and connoisseurs of great Bordeaux wines.
Aroma & taste
The nose opens with aromas of cassis, black currants, graphite, violets, cedar, tobacco, dark chocolate, and subtle spices. The palate is rich and refined, with silky-smooth tannins, lively freshness, and a long, mineral finish.
Why Magnum?
