Second vin from the château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande, Réserve de la Comtesse is a wine produced in the Pauillac appellation. The vineyard is planted on the gravel-rich soils characteristic of the appellation. The 2016 Réserve de la Comtesse comes from a blend of 54% Cabernet Sauvignon, 37% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot and 4% Cabernet Franc.
Dark ruby in colour, aromas of toasted tobacco emerge on the nose. Violets and blackberries fill the palate, the tannins are silky and balanced, with a long finish.
