Pichon Comtesse Réserve 2023

60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc, 5% Petit Verdot The 50th vintage of the Comtesse Reserve! It only takes a fraction of a second to get the message: terroir, freshness, fruit, more fruit and, above all, pleasure! On the contrary, the attack is creamy and dense. The attack is creamy and dense, opening the way to a wine with an identity of its own, with its own parcels, with an even stronger personality than usual. These are the wines that make you want to taste the 1st wine even more, because it's so good! A wine that is stupid, greedy, imposing, seductive and convincing. 2027-2048

The fragrance of French peonies and irises linger near the lips, while the aroma of black goji berries and hawthorns envelops the chest… Pichon Comtesse Réserve 2023 is akin to a maiden’s first kiss—pure and crystalline, it warms the heart without the need for fervor. Compared to previous years, the tannins and structure of this vintage possess greater depth, with a hint of rare salinity on the finish. Nicolas told me that the proportion of Cabernet Sauvignon in 2023 increased to 60%, signaling a convergence of quality and style towards its Grand Vin.
