WINEMAKER NOTES
2022 Pichon Comtesse Réserve – Pauillac’s Elegant Second Wine
The 2022 Chateau Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande 'Pichon Comtesse Réserve' is the refined second wine of one of Pauillac’s most celebrated estates. Drawing from the same exceptional terroir as the Grand Vin, this cuvée reflects the hallmark elegance and finesse of Pichon Lalande, offering a more approachable expression in its youth without sacrificing complexity. The 2022 vintage captures Pauillac’s power and structure while emphasizing harmony and freshness.
Tasting Notes
Lifted aromas of blackcurrant, violet, and subtle graphite unfold alongside hints of cocoa and baking spice. The palate is supple yet structured, with polished tannins framing layers of ripe cassis, plum, and mineral accents. The finish is long and graceful, making it an ideal introduction to the style of Bordeaux First Growths’ closest peers in Pauillac.
Winemaking & Vineyard Details
Sourced from the estate’s meticulously farmed gravelly soils, the blend in 2022 is predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon with Merlot and a touch of Cabernet Franc. Grapes are hand-harvested, sorted, and vinified in temperature-controlled vats before aging in French oak barrels, a portion of which are new. The estate’s precision winemaking ensures a wine of clarity, balance, and depth.
Investment & Collectibility
While crafted for earlier enjoyment, Pichon Comtesse Réserve retains the pedigree and craftsmanship of its illustrious sibling, offering collectors a versatile Pauillac to drink while their Grand Vin matures. Its limited production and consistent critical acclaim have made it a favorite among Rare Wine buyers seeking both quality and value. Perfect for your collection.
Vintage Insights
2022 was a remarkable vintage in Pauillac, marked by warm, dry conditions moderated by well-timed rainfall in August. These conditions led to small, concentrated berries with excellent tannin maturity, delivering wines with both power and precision—attributes clearly reflected in the 2022 Pichon Comtesse Réserve.
