Chateau Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande, 2ème G.C.C, 1855 Pauillac 2020 rob – Steve & Monique LubianaWhile warm temperatures in the winter favored early bud burst, the months of April and May were hot and marked by very heavy rainfall. These conditions did not affect flowering, which was early and rapid. A cool and fairly rainy month of June preceded a hot, dry summer. The rains in August helped the vines ripen and avoid water stress. The grapes harvested were of very high quality.
