The 2016 Ch\u00e2teau Pichon Comtesse Double Magnum (3L) is one of the most exclusive releases from this legendary ch\u00e2teau. Ch\u00e2teau Pichon-Longueville Comtesse de Lalande is a Deuxi\u00e8me Grand Cru Class\u00e9 from the 1855 classification and is known worldwide for its exceptional elegance, refinement, and longevity. The impressive Double Magnum size provides ideal conditions for extremely slow and harmonious aging.<\/p>\n
The 2016 vintage is considered one of the greatest Bordeaux vintages of the past decades. Thanks to perfect weather conditions, a wine with exceptional concentration, refined tannins, and impressive aromatic complexity was produced. The blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot produces a classic Pauillac in which power and finesse come together perfectly.<\/p>\n
The nose opens with aromas of cassis, black currants, plums, violets, graphite, cedarwood, tobacco, dark chocolate, and subtle spices. On the palate, the wine is rich and velvety, with perfectly integrated tannins, lively freshness, and an exceptionally long, mineral finish.<\/p>\n
A 3-liter Double Magnum ages considerably more slowly than a standard bottle or Magnum. As a result, the wine retains its freshness longer and develops additional complexity. This size is particularly popular among collectors and makes for an impressive showpiece in any wine cellar.<\/p>\n
Serve at 16\u201318\u00b0C and decant the wine two to three hours in advance. Delicious with entrec\u00f4te, lamb, roe deer, venison, duck, truffle dishes, and aged hard cheeses.<\/p>\n
The 2016 Ch\u00e2teau Pichon Comtesse Double Magnum has exceptional aging potential of more than forty years and will continue to develop for decades to come.<\/p>\n
