Pichon Comtesse Réserve - Pauillac - Rouge - 2023

Prestigious Cru Classé de Pauillac, direct neighbor of Château Latour, Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande is a first-rate label which, in just a few years, has returned to the path of success, propelled by the astute teams of Champagne Louis Roederer, its owner.

Prodigious in its consistency and balance, the château excels in the production of great Pauillac wines. A new, ultra-efficient cellar and winery have put it back in the performance race; with a stronger base of Cabernets, it has regained its place as "super second" and, in recent vintages, has begun a new series of legendary wines.

Admirable in its constitution and finesse, its second wine Pichon Comtesse Réserve benefits from the same attention to detail as its predecessor, and adopts all its standards in a more immediate version. A prized label, it's one of the best bargains in its category, especially in this 2023 vintage - the 50th anniversary of the birth of this second wine - when the grand cru scored a salvo of glowing notes, among the highest of the vintage ...

At last, a Pauillac with style, accessible and acclaimed by the critics!
