Pichon Comtesse Réserve, Pauillac, 2020
Produced from 47% Merlot, 43% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Petit Verdot, the second wine of Pichon Comtesse tastes nothing like a second wine. This screams quality and luxury. More open and expressive than the grand vin, it unfurls with a glorious, brooding, bouquet, dark berries, black tea and violets. Very compact and precise, with a serious fruit core and a glorious Pichon texture, so fine and silky and detailed, yet powerful and concentrated, coating the mouth with velvety, luxurious fruit and aristocratic tannins laced with sumptuous berries and minerals. We felt this could be the most impressive Reserve to date. Outstanding!
critic reviews
The 2020 Reserve de Pichon Comtesse has quite a concentrated bouquet—blackberry and raspberry fruit, a touch of cassis, just a soupçon of exoticism. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy black fruit, fine balance, plenty of freshness and a breezy, well-defined finish. Delightful. Tasted blind at the annual Southwold tasting.
Much like the grand vin, the 2020 Reserve de la Comtesse is charming and polished, bursting with aromas of dark berries, plums, rose petals and mint. Medium to full-bodied, suave and enveloping, it will drink well on release.
A blend of 47% Merlot, 43% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 10% Petit Verdot, the 2020 Pichon Comtesse Reserve is deep garnet-purple in color. It soars with expressive notes of cassis, wild blueberries, and chocolate-covered cherries with exotic hints of cardamom, cumin seed, and star anise. The medium-bodied palate features fine-grained tannins and seamless freshness to support the elegant fruit layers, finishing spicy.
