Pichon Comtesse Reserve is one of the best 2nd wines around, especially in excellent vintages like 2018. It is a wine overflowing with blackberry, black cherry and vibrant raspberry notes. Powerful and robust on the palate with beautiful cigar, cedar, graphite and liquorice flavours coming through. A 2nd wine in name only, better than most classed growths which is truly saying something.
Chateau Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande is a 2nd Cru Classe Chateau situated in the Pauillac commune of Bordeaux. It is a chateau which has been on top of its game in recent years and regularly produces one of the best wines of the vintage. Although Cabernet Sauvignon dominated, the blend features a high percentage of Merlot which gives the wines a characteristic opulence not seen in many Pauillac’s.
