Parker about La Reserve de la Comtesse 2022
Like a number of second wines from the best classified growths, the 2022 Resèrve de la Comtesse shares much of the personality of the grand vin this year, delivering aromas of blackberries, violets and exotic spices, followed by a medium to full-bodied, soupy and fleshy palate with a rich core of fruit framed by powdery tannins.

Suckling over La Reserve de la Comtesse 2022
The density of fruit is serious with black currants, black berries, crushed stone and coffee beans. Yet it's not heavy and overdone. The palate is full and rich, but also agile and weightless, with tannins that are spread and pretty.

La Réserve de la Comtesse 2022, the second wine of the renowned Château Pichon-Longueville Comtesse de Lalande in Pauillac, impresses with its harmonious elegance and finesse. On the nose, it unfolds an intense bouquet of blackcurrants, ripe cherries, and blackberries, accompanied by delicate notes of violet, cedarwood, and a hint of spice and graphite, subtly reminiscent of its older brother.

Lively acidity provides freshness and balance, while juicy fruit nuances and delicate mineral accents characterize the long, elegant finish. La Réserve de la Comtesse 2022 is a wonderfully balanced Pauillac that delights with its approachability when young, yet gains depth and complexity over time.
