Alcohol : 14%vol
There is a second wine, Reserve de la Comtesse, which made its permanent debut in 1973. Although a second wine has been produced at the estate from time to time as far back as 1874, making Chateau Pichon Lalande was one of the first Bordeaux estates to make a true second wine. Starting with the 2019 vintage, the estate renamed its second wine Pichon Comtesse Reserve.
The Reserve de Comtesse has a pleasant but austere bouquet with dusky black tobacco-infused fruit all with fine definition and vigour. The palate is medium-bodied with a satisfying Merlot component neatly offsetting the ripe Cabernet Sauvignon. Good body here, pleasing length with a dash of spice on the finish
