Pichon Comtesse Réserve is the second wine of Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande, the Second Growth that faces Château Latour across the road in Pauillac.

It used to be called Réserve de la Comtesse. The estate farms 73 hectares with vines averaging 35 years, 28 of them biodynamically, and makes each plot separately in a gravity-fed cellar. The Réserve comes from the same vineyards and team as the grand vin.

The 2019 is 51% Cabernet Sauvignon, 46% Merlot and 3% Cabernet Franc, picked from 18 September to 8 October after a dry summer. It spent 12 months in barrel, 40% new, and was fined with egg whites.

Critics found red and black cherry, blackberry, currant, rose petal and a touch of mint, with polished tannins and a fresh finish.

The Pichon Comtesse grand vin 2008 is the bottle for a special dinner. For the house style at a third of the price, buy the Réserve.

Decant it for an hour, serve at 16–18°C (61–64°F) and pair it with roast lamb or a ribeye.

Awards

94 Vinous
Vinous: "Elegant, silky and nuanced, with terrific presence." Antonio Galloni finds red berry fruit, mint, blood orange, rose petal and spice that open up with air. He calls it one of the best recent editions of the Réserve, so give it time in the glass or a decanter.

94 Decanter
Decanter: "One of the best second wines in Pauillac." The magazine tasted it from bottle in early 2022 and ranked it with the top second labels of the commune. It shares its vineyards and cellar team with the Pichon Comtesse grand vin, aged 12 months in 40% new oak.

93 James Suckling
James Suckling: "Integrated tannins and a polished finish." He describes a pretty red with blackberry, cherry and currant, built more for finesse than weight. It is the kind of second wine that drinks well young, and the 2019 is open and ready now with a short decant.

91 Wine Spectator
Wine Spectator: "Racy and fresh." The note picks out red and black cherry with a touch of iron and savory notes running through the palate. A hint of cedar shows in the background on the finish, a classic Pauillac signature that suits roast lamb or steak.
