Pichon Comtesse Réserve Pauillac 2016

100 Point Cree Wine Value, Chris Cree, MW - "There is no doubt that if you love Classified Bordeaux from the top Châteaux there is no better way to beat the system than by buying Second Labels from the best properties.

The "Super Second" Reserve de Pichon Comtesse de Lalande delivers it in spades, exuding much of the character, quality and style of the Grand Vin, ($361 average bottle price online), but does it at a fraction of the price!

If you are craving a delicious, classic left bank Pauillac to drink now and for a decade on this is your wine! Stock up on this for the holidays and beyond but don't delay - just a handful of acases available!" Cheers, Chris 

The Top Critics Agree!

94 Points, Neal Martin, Vinous Media - “The 2016 Reserve de la Comtesse has a wonderful typicité on the nose, black fruit laced with pencil box and sous-bois scents, beautifully defined and focused. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy black fruit. Good weight, quite dense on the mid-palate, with a vibrant, spicy finish that has a very discreet dark chocolate edge. Give this another two or three years—an absolute corker of a Deuxième Vin. Tasted blind at the Southwold 10-Year-On tasting.”

94 Points, Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media - “Sensual, racy and inviting, the Réserve de la Comtesse is one of the very finest wines readers will find in its peer group. Sweet dark plum, rose petal, spice and chocolate notes build into the silky, beautifully resonant finish. The 2016 has so much to offer. Moreover, it is flat-out delicious. Don't miss it!”
