The 2021 vintage of Pichon Comtesse is a red wine from Pauillac Grand Cru Classé, reflecting the elegance and power typical of this prestigious Médoc estate. This wine embodies the château’s signature style: structured, refined, and with excellent aging potential.

It is primarily made from Cabernet Sauvignon, complemented by Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and occasionally Petit Verdot, depending on the plots. The blend provides both power, harmony, and complexity.

On the nose, the wine reveals an intense and elegant bouquet of ripe dark fruits (blackcurrant, blackberry), subtle floral notes, and spicy hints, with a light touch of oak from barrel aging.
On the palate, it is broad, structured, and precise, with fine, silky tannins supporting a generous body. The finish is long and persistent, marked by mineral and lightly toasted notes.

The 2021 vintage can be enjoyed now for its fruit and balance but has a cellaring potential of 15 to 20 years, allowing it to develop and gain complexity over time.

A classic Pauillac Grand Cru Classé, perfect with red meats, game, or rich sauces, combining power, elegance, and finesse for lovers of age-worthy wines.

Château Pichon Comtesse de Lalande is an iconic estate in Pauillac, on the left bank of the Médoc, renowned for its powerful, elegant, and highly refined red wines. Classified as a Deuxième Grand Cru Classé in 1855, it has embodied Bordeaux excellence since the 19th century.

The estate covers approximately 73 hectares of vineyards, planted mainly with Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot, on deep gravel soils over a clay-limestone subsoil — typical of the Médoc and ideal for producing structured wines with excellent aging potential.

The estate’s philosophy is based on meticulous vineyard work, including manual harvesting, careful pruning, and precise yield management, ensuring the quality and concentration of the grapes. Winemaking combines modern techniques with oak barrel aging, highlighting the terroir and maintaining balance in the wine.

The estate is celebrated for the power, finesse, and complexity of its wines, which can improve over many years. Pichon Comtesse stands as a symbol of consistency and prestige in Pauillac, blending classic elegance with a distinctive character.
