PICHON COMTESSE RESERVE 2nd of Ch. Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande, Pauillac 2025 OWC x 6 Bottles (Ucz) - PRE-RELEASE

Description

Pichon Comtesse Réserve 2025 provides a compelling insight into the elegance of this famous Pauillac estate. As the second wine of Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande, it benefits from the same meticulous viticulture and winemaking expertise as the Grand Vin. The 2025 blend features a high proportion of Cabernet Sauvignon, balanced by significant amounts of Merlot and touches of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot.

On the nose, it offers an inviting array of red and black cherries, silky violets, and subtle pencil lead. The palate is defined by its supple texture and approachable tannins, a characteristic hallmark of the Comtesse style. Bright acidity ensures freshness, leading to a refined and lingering finish. This wine is both sophisticated and accessible.

"Since its acquisition by the Rouzaud family (Louis Roederer Group), Château Pichon Comtesse de Lalande has continued to strengthen its position among the great names of Pauillac. Under the direction of Nicolas Glumineau, the estate pursues a rigorous approach in both vineyard and cellar, refining the precision, elegance and ageing potential of its Grand Vin. The Pichon Comtesse Réserve follows the same philosophy, offering a more accessible yet faithful expression of the estate’s style. The 2025 wines show excellent harmony: the Grand Vin combines depth and refinement, Pichon Comtesse Reserve offers vibrant fruit and supple texture." - Antoine Cathelineau
