    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

    The quality of some of the second wines this year is quite astonishing. Technical Directors must have questioned the need to declassify any fruit. Nicolas Glumineau decided to produce Pichon Comtesse Reserve, and it's a wonderful example with grand vin proportions. It opens with an attractive and lifted bouquet of purple fruits, graphite and violets. The palate continues in the same vein with detailed, expressive, wonderfully textured creme de mûre fruit, lots of minerality and a sumptuous mouthfeel. Super-refined and very serious for a second label. 54% Cabernet Sauvignon, 34% Merlot, 10% Petit Verdot and 2% Cabernet Franc.

    Neal Martin,

    The 2022 Réserve de la Comtesse represents half the total production from the vineyard due to a stricter selection of the Merlot. It has a perfumed, floral bouquet with blueberry, violet and light cassis scents. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins. Very sensual with touches of graphite and espresso toward the harmonious finish. You could almost drink this now!

    The 2022 Pichon Comtesse Reserve is made from 54% Cabernet Sauvignon, 34% Merlot, 10% Petit Verdot, and 2% Cabernet Franc. Deep garnet-purple in color, it comes bounding out of the glass with exuberant scents of juicy black plums, blackberry pie, and boysenberry preserves, plus hints of black cherries, cedar chest, and lavender. The medium to full-bodied palate coats the mouth with perfumed black fruit preserves, supported by plush tannins and just enough freshness, finishing on an earthy note. pH 3.8.

    Fully ripe fruits, smoky and creamy character with charred raspberry and cassis, violet-edged, pencil lead, bitter chocolate, cocoa dust. An impressive wine, tannins close in a little tightly on the finish, with dried rosemary and black pepper spicy translating the heat of the vintage. 31hl/h yield, 3.65ph.
