Description:
Réserve de la Comtesse 2015 is the second wine of Château Pichon Lalande, offering a more approachable and youthful expression of Pauillac. It shows a refined Bordeaux style with ripe dark fruits like blackcurrant and plum, layered with subtle oak, spice, and earthy undertones. The wine is elegant, balanced, and structured, with softer tannins compared to the grand vin, making it enjoyable earlier while still reflecting the estate’s classic depth and finesse.
