Pauillac, Bordeaux, France
Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande
Pichon Comtesse is one of the top estates in Pauillac, the Bordeaux village famous for powerful red wines. The 1979 is a quieter vintage, but this estate consistently punches above its official ranking — it sits just below the very top tier yet often outperforms neighbors that cost more.
