รายละเอียดสินค้า
Château Pichon Comtesse, long admired for its grace and depth, traces its lineage to the 17th century, but took its modern shape under the guidance of Virginie de Pichon Longueville in the 1800s. With time, it gained renown for producing one of Pauillac’s most elegantly styled second growths.
In 2021, a cool and challenging vintage tested the mettle of Bordeaux’s vineyards. The team at Pichon Comtesse responded with rigor—meticulous vineyard work, selective harvesting, and gentle extraction—to express the terroir’s finesse.
The result is a wine of restraint and beauty, echoing the château’s historic emphasis on charm over power. This vintage reaffirms the estate’s role as Pauillac’s poetic counterpoint to its more muscular peers.
wine score
96 points Wine Enthusiast
Black-currant fruit aromas are also backed by a powerfully tannic wine. It is both elegant and concentrated, and its refined character comes from the stylish structure. The wine also has enormous potential.
95 points Wine Advocate
The 2021 Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande wafts from the glass with aromas of blackberries and minty cassis mingled with notes of violet, lavender, pencil shavings and rose petals. Medium to full-bodied, velvety and polished, it's beautifully seamless and complete, with a fleshy core of fruit, ripe acids and sweet, powdery tannins that assert themselves on the gently structured finish. This will offer a broad drinking window. It's one of the vintage's real successes, but it also represents only one-quarter of a "normal" production.
94 points Wine Spectator
Plush, warm and inviting, offering waves of cassis, crushed plum and blackberry puree that cruise through, while a fine-grained structure provides support. Shows alluring accents of black tea and alder on the finish, with the fruit keeping the upper hand easily. Very polished for the vintage. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Best from 2026 through 2040.
97 points James Suckling
Fantastic aromas of blackberries, blackcurrants and graphite. Metal shavings. It's medium-bodied, with a classy center-palate of fruit and fine, velvety tannins leading to an almost endless finish. This has so much class, especially for the vintage.Profile

Chateau Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande
Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande, also called Château Pichon Comtesse is one of the fifteen Second Growths in the Bordeaux Wine Official Classification of 1855.
The estate covers 92 hectares and is situated along the Gironde Estuary just next to Château Latour. It was once part of the larger Pichon estate, which was also including Château Pichon Longueville Baron. In 1850, the estate was divided into the two current Pichon estates. New winemaking facilities were built in 2013.
Château Pichon Comtesse produces an average of 15,000 cases per vintage as well as a second wine named Réserve de Pichon Comtesse (Réserve de la Comtesse before 2017). Planted grape varieties are 65 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 25 % Merlot, 7 % Cabernet Franc and 3 % Petit Verdot.
Since 2007, the Château is the property of the Rouzaud family, which also owns the Champagne house Louis Roederer.
