2023 Château Pichon Comtesse de Lalande Resèrve de la Comtesse

This 2023 2nd Grand Cru Classe Pauillac Rerserve de la Comtesse was made by Château Pichon-Longueville Comtesse. The winery was acquired by the Louis Roederer Champagne estate in 2007. This beautiful Pauillac is a blend of 78% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17% Merlot, and 5% Petit Verdot. The wine boasts a very refined and pure bouquet of black cherry, cedar, and violet aromas, and is fragrant and sensual. Medium-bodied on the palate, it has supple, rounded tannins enveloped by layers of tobacco-tinged black fruit, leading to a long, slightly spicy, and also smooth finish. The palate is medium to full-bodied, packed with juicy black fruit and abundant earthy/mineral nuances, finishing with wonderful freshness and a calm intensity. Very impressive. A delicious red wine with excellent aging potential. A little more cellaring will certainly benefit this wine!

Réserve de la Comtesse is a wine that reflects the elegance and complexity of Pichon Comtesse de Lalande, but is more accessible in its youth. This wine is perfect for those who want to enjoy the classic style of a top Bordeaux without the long maturation that a grand vin often requires to reach its full potential. It is an ideal accompaniment to grilled meats, stews, and aged cheeses, but can also be enjoyed solo to fully appreciate its refined character.
