La RÉSERVE de PICHON-COMTESSE
Second wine from Château Pichon-Comtesse de Lalande

Second wine of Pichon-Comtesse de Lalande: velvety, generous, with well-polished tannins and aromas of ripe fruit with a very Pauillaise cedar note. A reliable and regular value, quickly developed.

J-M Quarin : 93/100 « Très beau rouge sombre. Nez intense, au fruité mûr, évoluant sur une touche de vanille bourbon à l'agitation du verre. Bouche délicate et délicieuse, fondante, aimable, avec plus de goût que de corps. Longueur normale. »

Bettane & Desseauve : 91-92/100 « Bon corps, texture sans maigreur, tannin fin, assez complexe, c’est tout ce qu’on attend. »

Vinous (N. Martin): 89-91/100 "The 2024 Réserve de la Comtesse offers raspberry and mulberry scents, with light damp undergrowth aromas percolating through, almost moss-like. Fine delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly rustic tannins on the entry and some wood tannins present, although there will be less in the final blend. Light cedar notes emerge towards the finish, moderate in length, clean and classic in style."

Vinous (A. Galloni): 91-93/100 "The 2024 Réserve de la Comtesse is a very racy, sexy wine. Crushed flowers, mint, lavender, new leather, mocha and spice all grace this exquisite, wonderfully nuanced Réserve. All the elements are so well balanced. Silky tannins add to the wine's total feeling of finesse, but the aromatics are just as inviting."
