“The stunning, ripe dark berries and plums on the nose are attractively dressed and deliver a wealth of assertively rich and juicy dark-fruit flavors on the palate, in balanced and elegant yet powerful style. The best Réserve de la Comtesse for some time. Second wine of Château Pichon-Lalande.” Awarded 94 Points, James Suckling
“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!” Awarded 94 Points, Antonio Galloni

Early bud break in March was followed by cold and wet months and therefore a heavy dose of mildew. Flowering was late in June before a long, dry summer. September and October were equally as dry and sunny providing excellent ripening conditions allowing for optimal maturity during the harvest between the 20th of September and 20th of October.
On the nose, this vintage is deliciously complex with intense floral aromas with wild basil and rosemary savoury notes. The palate is rounded with flavours of strawberry, morello cherry and white tobacco with a fine-tuned finish that is structured, balanced and intense.
Delicious when paired with red meats such as lamb, powerful cheeses and dark chocolate.
