The Wine Independent, November 2022

(98+ points) The 2015 Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande is medium to deep garnet colored. It is seriously shut down on the nose at this stage, needing a lot of coaxing to reveal notes of crushed blackcurrants...

Decanter, November 2018

Beautifully extracted, this is rich, ripe and layered. It is utterly gorgeous and has real precision and tension. It delivers its Pauillac swagger with the most gentle of hands - the tannins are fine, layered-up and...

This shows spices, pepper, blueberries and blackcurrants on the nose. Full body, very polished tannins and a long and beautiful finish. Shows such gorgeous texture. Precise and transparent. Try in 2022.

I tasted the 2015 Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande on three separate occasions rating it 97 twice and 98 once. Checking in as a final blend of 68% Cabernet Sauvignon, 29% Merlot and the rest Cabernet Franc...

TheWineCellarInsider.com, July 2022

Rich, silky, opulent, and packed with layers of rich, ripe, supple-textured, fresh, ripe fruits, you find a multi-layered, experience with length, volume, and complexity that is made even better with the velvety tannins...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, February 2018

A blend of 68% Cabernet Sauvignon, 29% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot aged for 18 months in barrels, 60% new, the 2015 Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande displays a medium to deep garnet-purple color...

Wine Enthusiast, February 2018

This is the new taste for this estate: richly endowed while remaining elegant and suave. Certainly, there is great concentration here as well as rich black fruits. But they are given a sense of style and poise that will...

janeanson.com, February 2025

Stately, slow release of dark berry fruits, textured and confident architecture, not the muscle of the 2016 but exceptional quality, rose buds, crayon, cedar, cassis. Seems to be a little subdued at the ten year mark, but...

Vinous, June 2025

The 2015 Pichon-Longueville Comtesse de Lalande has an exquisite bouquet with blackberry, mint, meat juice and sage. It's perhaps not as noble as Pichon Baron at the moment. The palate is medium-bodied with crunchy red...

Wine Spectator, March 2018

A fresh and focused style, with a terrific beam of black cherry and black currant compote flavors. Strong graphite and black tea notes harness the finish, ending with alder and tobacco echoes. This has serious length...
