title: Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande 2006  Pauillac
description: The success of this wine owes as much to Merlot as to Cabernet. The Merlot has created the ripeness and smoothness of the wine. While the Cabernet keeps it firm and closed up, there is a base of rich, sweet fruit here that will show over the next two years. The style of the wine is moving away from elegance to power under the new regime of owners, Champagne Roederer.
variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend
