Tasting notes
This second wine represents 41% of the crop. Composed of 53% Cabernet Sauvignon, 42% Merlot, 4% Petit Verdot and 1% Cabernet Franc.
The 2019 Réserve de la Comtesse embodies the signature finesse of the estate with remarkable grace and texture. The bouquet reveals crushed red berries, rose petals, mint, and blood orange zest, unfolding gradually with air. On the palate, it’s supple and nuanced, showing impressive depth and balance, framed by silky tannins and a long, savoury finish.
A wine of purity, poise, and precision—one of the finest recent vintages of this cuvée, offering a glimpse into the grandeur of Pichon Lalande at a more approachable stage.
