Château Réserve de la Comtesse 2016 is the second wine of the prestigious Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande, one of Pauillac’s most revered Second Growth estates. Crafted to offer earlier approachability while retaining the estate’s hallmark refinement and structure, this wine delivers superb quality and balance at an attractive price point.
The 2016 Bordeaux vintage is celebrated for its exceptional balance, purity, and ageing potential. Featuring a Cabernet Sauvignon-led blend with Merlot and a touch of Cabernet Franc, the 2016 Reserve de la Comtesse displays vibrant fruit concentration, glossy tannins, and classic Pauillac precision. This wine is approachable now with decanting while also possessing the structure to develop further in the cellar.
Allowed ageing in high-quality French oak barrels enhances the wine’s depth and complexity, resulting in a beautifully layered expression typical of the Comtesse house style.
