About

A second wine that rivals many grands vins, the Réserve de la Pichon Comtesse Pauillac 2022 is a shining example of the precision and elegance of Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande. Crafted with the same meticulous care as the estate’s first wine, this Pauillac blend captures the depth, structure, and refinement that define the appellation. With a vintage marked by optimal ripeness and concentration, this wine offers a beautifully balanced expression of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, delivering both power and grace in every sip.

Tasting notes

A deep, inky ruby hue hints at the wine’s concentration. The nose is expressive and layered, revealing classic blackcurrant, cassis, and ripe plum aromas, complemented by graphite, cedar, and a touch of violet. On the palate, the 2022 vintage showcases exceptional ripeness, with juicy blackberry and dark cherry flavors supported by finely integrated tannins. Hints of dark chocolate, tobacco, and crushed stone add complexity, while a vibrant acidity ensures balance and a lingering, mineral-driven finish. A wine of structure and sophistication, it is approachable in its youth yet has the aging potential to develop beautifully over the next decade.

Pairing

The bold yet refined structure of Réserve de la Pichon Comtesse Pauillac 2022 makes it a perfect partner for grilled ribeye steak, where the wine’s tannins complement the marbling of the beef, while its dark fruit and savory notes enhance the charred flavors. It also pairs exceptionally well with rack of lamb with rosemary and garlic, as the wine’s herbal undertones mirror the dish’s aromatics. For a more elevated pairing, consider duck breast with a red wine reduction, where the richness of the meat and the depth of the sauce find harmony with the wine’s silky texture and vibrant fruit. A classic selection of aged cheeses, such as Comté or aged Gouda, will also highlight the wine’s complexity and refinement.

Pauillac

All products from this village

The home of three out of the five cult wine houses of the Grand Cru classification - Lafitte-Rothschild, Latour and Mouton-Rothschild. The soil is poor - big rocks in the gravel makes it difficult for the vine roots to get water but this allows them to gather lots of valuable minerals on the way. The taste of fresh fruit, wood and spicy tannins combined with a rich aroma of cigar boxes and dark berries are the qualities that make this appellation a true value. Winemakers use all the grapes allowed in the region - Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot.

Bordeaux

All products from this region

Bordeaux wines are considered to be the most prestige and renowned in the world. The region is mainly known for its dry red wines made from Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot grapes, and one can almost always find the word Château (French for „castle”) on Bordeaux wine labels. In order to understand the style of wine most desirable for your taste, it is recommended to try different samples from the Left as well as the Right Bank of The Gironde. Both banks differ not only with different soil, but also with the share of specific wines. There are several classifications in Bordeaux but the main one, introduced in 1855, hasn’t changed since and still impacts wine prices nowadays. A few years later, in 1936, an alternative classification system - Crus Bourgeois - was established. Bordeaux is known for a commerce praxis called en primeur - it means that a buyer can purchase wines immediately after harvest and prior to production for a substantially lower price, thus obtaining the opportunity to sell them for a larger profit later in the future. Bordeaux wines can be described as big, complex and with a strong character, but very friendly at the same time so that each and every wine lover could find something tasty and suitable for a great wine night.
