This chateau picked its cabernet sauvignon in '97 with the same grape sugars as the previous year, but with lower acidity. The '97 also features a relatively high 10% petit verdot, which was picked late and thoroughly ripe. The '96 Pichon-Lalande is shaping up extremely well, and the finished '95 is a knockout. The estate describes the '96 as "like '86 but much riper." The utterly silky '95, in comparison, is very much a merlot wine here. In fact, during the course of my tasting, marketing director Gildas d'Ollone told me that renowned Bordeaux enologist Pascal Ribereau-Gayon mistook the estate '96 cabernet sauvignon for merlot at a tasting of components, so velvety were its texture and tannins.

Pichon-Lalande. The '95 here is Pichon-Lalande at its best: utterly appealing and perfumed but with a serious side. No petit verdot will be included in the '95, as drought stress prevented this variety from achieving sufficient ripeness.
