Reserve De La Comtesse 2nd Vin De Pichon Comtesse Pauillac, 2021

Reserve de la Comtesse 2021 is the second wine of Château Pichon Comtesse, one of Pauillac’s most respected estates, offering a refined introduction to the grandeur of Left Bank Bordeaux. Made from the classic blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot, it combines structure, elegance, and early approachability with the pedigree of a historic classified-growth property.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a deep ruby colour with vibrant purple reflections, hinting at its youthful character. The nose is expressive and classic Pauillac: blackcurrant, ripe plum, cedar, graphite, and a touch of violet, with subtle notes of spice and toasted oak. On the palate, it is supple yet structured, balancing Cabernet-driven cassis and firm tannins with the roundness of Merlot and the lift of Cabernet Franc. The finish is long, polished, and savoury, with the freshness needed for graceful development in bottle. While approachable earlier than the grand vin, 2021 has the structure to age well over the medium term, gaining more complexity and harmony with a few years in cellar.

Production
Sourced from vineyards in Pauillac on the Left Bank of Bordeaux, the wine reflects the gravelly, well-drained soils that are ideal for Cabernet Sauvignon and help produce wines of depth and precision. Fruit is carefully harvested and selected to preserve quality and consistency, with vinification focused on bringing out varietal purity, balance, and the estate’s signature elegance. As the second wine of a top classified growth, it is made with the same attention to detail as the grand vin, but from younger vines and parcels chosen for earlier accessibility.

Food & Serving
This is an excellent match for roast lamb, grilled entrecôte, duck breast, beef fillet, or mushroom-based dishes with rich umami character. Serve at around 16–18°C for the best expression of fruit and structure. Decanting for 1 hour is recommended if drinking young, as it will help the aromas open and soften the tannins.

Producer
Reserve de la Comtesse comes from Château Pichon Comtesse, a historic Pauillac estate with deep roots in Bordeaux’s fine-wine tradition. The château is widely recognised for producing refined, classically styled wines that express both power and finesse, and it has earned a strong reputation among collectors and Bordeaux lovers alike. As the estate’s second wine, Reserve de la Comtesse offers a more accessible window into the craftsmanship and prestige of this celebrated property.
