The Wine Cellar Insider · 91/100

Réserve de la Comtesse 2018 is the second wine of Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande, a Second Growth of Pauillac renowned for its elegance and Cabernet-Merlot finesse. A Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot blend from Pauillac's deep gravel soils in the great 2018 vintage, it shows blackcurrant, dark cherry and cedar with graphite and fine, silky tannins — a refined, classed-growth style at a more accessible level than the Grand Vin. Serve at 16-18°C, decanted.

Réserve de la Comtesse 2018 is the second wine of Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande, a Second Growth of Pauillac renowned for its elegance and Cabernet-Merlot finesse.

A Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot blend from the great 2018 vintage, grown on Pauillac's deep gravel soils, it typically shows blackcurrant, dark cherry and cedar with graphite and fine, silky tannins — a refined, classed-growth style at a more accessible level than the Grand Vin.

Serve at 16-18°C, decanted, with red meats, lamb or mature cheeses. Approachable now and able to develop over the next decade or more.
