Chateau Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande Reserve 2016

Réserve de la Comtesse is the elegant second wine of Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande, revealing aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, black cherry, cedar, graphite, violet, tobacco, and subtle baking spice. Richly textured yet beautifully approachable, it delivers silky tannins, vibrant freshness, refined balance, and a long, polished finish with classic Pauillac character.

Food Pairing: Pair with grilled ribeye, beef Wellington, roast lamb, duck breast, venison, mushroom risotto, aged Comté, braised short ribs, or roasted root vegetables.

94 Points - James Suckling

The stunning, ripe dark berries and plums on the nose are attractively dressed and deliver a wealth of assertively rich and juicy dark-fruit flavors on the palate, in balanced and elegant yet powerful style. The best Réserve de la Comtesse for some time. Second wine of Château Pichon-Lalande. Try from 2023.
