🔎貴為超2級酒莊Chateau Pichon Lalande 的副牌，現在是Louis Roederer Champagne集團旗下，副牌葡萄採收自 Ste Anne Commune 近Latour 和Batailley 的葡萄園，而部份更來自位於St Julien產區（獲批准能標示Pauillac) 的一塊11公頃的葡萄園，Réserve de la Comtesse 副牌正式登場時間在1973年，但Pichon Lalande推出副牌酒歷史可追溯至1874年，稱得上是第一家波爾多酒莊推出副牌酒，過往經歷多過女莊主管理，而在葡萄比例上也相對其他Pauillac 用較少比例的Cabernet Sauvignon，造就女性形象鮮明，風格上比傳統的Pauillac多了一份花香和新鮮感，在云云大堆Pauillac大漢當中顯出不一樣的個性👍。

💁‍️此莊的酒款以複雜的酒質而聞名，這是來自選用多個不同地塊的葡萄所調配而釀成。酒體展現較為柔順而細膩的風格見稱！高雅而口感細緻圓潤、飽滿。香氣通常有濃郁的紫羅蘭和黑醋粟果香﹐還有香草和肉桂等。單寧通常軟熟，各方面平衡度高，餘韻綿長﹐受到酒友們的追棒。

The stunning, ripe dark berries and plums on the nose are attractively dressed and deliver a wealth of assertively rich and juicy dark-fruit flavors on the palate, in balanced and elegant yet powerful style. The best Réserve de la Comtesse for some time. Second wine of Château Pichon-Lalande. 

🏅Vinous 94

Sensual, racy and inviting, the Réserve de la Comtesse is one of the very finest wines readers will find in its peer group. Sweet dark plum, rose petal, spice and chocolate notes build into the silky, beautifully resonant finish. The 2016 has so much to offer. Moreover, it is flat-out delicious. Don't miss it!

The 2016 Reserve de la Comtesse is a blend of 54% Cabernet Sauvignon, 37% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot and 4% Cabernet Franc. Deep garnet-purple colored, it leaps from the glass with beautiful kirsch, cassis and redcurrants with hints of red roses, black tea, black pepper, chocolate box and cloves. The palate is medium-bodied, very elegant and fresh with gorgeous silken tannins and loads of bright fruit, finishing spicy.
