2015 Reserve de la Comtesse

France / Bordeaux / Medoc / Haut-Medoc / Pauillac 2. Cru Rouge
 
Réserve de la Comtesse is the second label of Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande (Pichon Lalande).
 
A characteristic style of the appellation, powerful with ripe fruit, aromas of cigar box, cedar, and blackcurrant which return on the palate with the addition of raspberry. Deliciously creamy, rich with ripe tannins, full and long finish.
 
"Compared to several fresher decades, 2015 is a truly sunny vintage. At Pichon Comtesse, the vineyard was bathed in sunlight nourishing its grapes, bursting with juice and full of flavour. This vintage takes us back to the great classics of Pauillac, thanks to a wine that is lively, complex vibrant and… elegant; Pichon Comtesse, of course!", Nicolas Glumineau.
