The 2024 Réserve de la Comtesse is a very racy, sexy wine. Crushed flowers, mint, lavender, new leather, mocha and spice all grace this exquisite, wonderfully nuanced Réserve. All the elements are so well balanced. Silky tannins add to the wine's total feeling of finesse, but the aromatics are just as inviting. Tasted three times. 04/2025

The 2024 Réserve de la Comtesse represents half the crop this year, with more Cabernet Sauvignon than ever before, partly due to the replanting program in the vineyard. This sample was aged in 100% new oak, but the final blend will be 50%. It offers raspberry and mulberry scents, with light damp undergrowth aromas percolating through, almost moss-like. Fine delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly rustic tannins on the entry and some wood tannins present, although there will be less in the final blend. Light cedar notes emerge towards the finish, moderate in length, clean and classic in style. 04/2025

A blend of 72% Cabernet Sauvignon, 24% Merlot and 4% Cabernet Franc, the 2024 Resèrve de la Comtesse offers up aromas of minty cassis, plums and licorice, followed by a medium-bodied, ample and velvety palate that emphasizes upfront charm. 04/2025

A blend of 72% Cabernet Sauvignon, 24% Merlot, and 4% Cabernet Franc, the 2024 Pichon Comtesse Reserve is deep purple-hued and reveals a charming, forward style in its darker cherry, currants, smoky tobacco, and gravelly earth aromatics. It's medium-bodied and has a supple yet nicely textured, balanced mouthfeel. It's a solid second wine that will offer plenty of pleasure right out of the gate. The 2024 hit 12.7% alcohol, 3.7 pH, and 65 IPT. 05/2025

A lighter vintage but juicy and refined, showing lots of crunch and freshness. Healthy tannins are firm and lightly chewy with medium body and an al dente finish. 72% cabernet sauvignon, 24% merlot and 4% cabernet franc. 04/2025
