2022 Chateau Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande – Pauillac Second Growth

The 2022 Chateau Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande is a masterclass in Pauillac elegance and power. As one of Bordeaux’s most admired Second Growth estates, Pichon Comtesse is celebrated for crafting Cabernet Sauvignon-dominant wines of remarkable finesse. The 2022 vintage reflects the château’s signature style—luxuriously textured, aromatically complex, and built for decades of graceful aging.

Tasting Notes

Intense aromas of blackcurrant, violet, and graphite emerge, supported by layers of cassis, dark chocolate, and cedar spice. The palate is structured yet polished, with fine-grained tannins and exceptional purity of fruit. A lingering finish reveals subtle notes of tobacco and crushed stone, hallmarks of Pauillac’s deep gravel terroir.

Winemaking & Vineyard Details

Located on Pauillac’s southern border, the estate’s vineyards span deep gravel soils over limestone and clay, producing Cabernet Sauvignon of great aromatic intensity. The 2022 blend is led by Cabernet Sauvignon, with Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot adding suppleness and aromatic lift. Fermentation took place in temperature-controlled vats, followed by aging in French oak barrels—most of which were new—to achieve a harmonious balance of fruit and oak.

Investment & Collectibility

With a long track record of high critical acclaim and strong performance on the secondary market, Pichon Comtesse is a cornerstone of Bordeaux collecting. The 2022 vintage, shaped by a warm, dry growing season, promises both early approachability and long-term cellaring potential. Perfect for your collection.

Vintage Insights

The 2022 Pauillac vintage is marked by concentrated fruit, refined tannins, and freshness despite a hot summer. Cool nights preserved acidity and aromatic vibrancy, resulting in a wine of both density and precision—a hallmark of exceptional Bordeaux years.

(Rating (97-100). One of the gems from Pauillac is unquestionably the 2022 Château Pichon-Longueville Comtesse De Lalande, which is 78% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17% Merlot, and 5% Cabernet Franc. A hypothetical blend of the 2019 and 2020, it's a full-bodied, concentrated, opulent Comtesse offering beautiful blue fruits, some chocolate, leafy herbs, and undeniable minerality, ripe, velvety tannins, and a great finish. Despite the higher Cabernet Sauvignon component, this stays silky, expansive, and incredibly sexy. It's going to be drinkable with just 4-5 years of bottle age but should have a lengthy drink window. Hats off to director Nicolas Glumineau for another legendary wine from this château. Reviewed by Jeb Dunnuck, Issue date: May 2023. Drinking window: N/A.

(Rating (97-99). The 2022 Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande is one wine where a comparison with this estate's magical 1982 doesn't appear to be far-fetched. Wafting from the glass with deep aromas of cassis, plums, violets, rose petals, tobacco leaf and pencil shavings, it's full-bodied, supple and fleshy, with a layered, seamless core of fruit that largely conceals its chassis of powdery structuring tannin. Concluding with a long, expansive and beautifully perfumed finish, it's a blend of 78% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc that has the potential to equal or even surpass the 2019 and 2016 vintages at this address. It checks in at a very classical 13.6% alcohol and a rather high pH of 3.80. Reviewed by William Kelley, Issue date: April 2023. Drinking window: N/A.

(Rating (96-99). The 2022 Pichon-Longueville Comtesse de Lalande is magnificent. In recent years, Estate Director Nicolas Glumineau has pushed Pichon Comtesse to the limit. Maybe even a bit too far. But the 2022 is in the end a super-classic wine that emphasizes mid-weight structure, aromatic presence and persistence more than size. Sweet floral, savory and mineral accents run through a core of ripe, racy red-toned fruit. All the elements are so well balanced. Tasted four times.
