Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande Réserve de la Comtesse Pauillac 2016

From the iconic Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande in Pauillac, Bordeaux, the Réserve de la Comtesse 2016 is a refined second wine from a stellar vintage. Crafted from 54% Cabernet Sauvignon, 37% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot, and 4% Cabernet Franc, sourced from younger vines on gravelly soils, it’s fermented in stainless steel and aged 12 months in French oak (40% new). This wine showcases Pauillac’s terroir with a deep ruby hue and elegant depth.

Winemaking Process

The estate’s meticulous approach defines this wine. The 2016 vintage undergoes gravity-flow vinification with precise fruit selection, fermented in stainless steel vats. Aging in 40% new French oak for 12 months enhances its structure, while the high Merlot proportion softens tannins, creating a balanced, approachable wine with a sensuous style.
