Pat net is currently all the rage
label good a small piece missing at the bottom
but with a couple of decades of time on its hands
The finish is long and complex replaying the complexities of the nose
A vintage that has had a mixed reception over the years
An excellent vintage for the Rhone
but wines to drink now rather than cellaring
Chateau Pichon Lalande has been consistently producing great wines for many years now
with a fresh and breezy spring and summer
Managed by the Droig family after Jean retired in 1994
