Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande
Second Class Growth. This prestigious wine is more feminine in style that its neighbor Château Pichon Baron. It shows a particularly soft, velvety touch due to the high proportion (35%) of the Merlot grape.

Carruades de Lafite Rothschild

Château Duhart Milon Rothschild
Fourth Class Growth. Closed when young, but opens up with bottle age showing a lovely velvety texture, and great finesse. Good aging potential.
Château Grand Puy Lacoste

Château Lynch Bages
Fifth Class Growth. A relatively supple Pauillac that has been showing well over the last ten years.
Château Pichon Longueville Baron
