Pichon Comtesse 2020: Silky & Majestic Second Growth Pauillac

Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande 2020 is a striking and graceful wine from one of the most admired Second Growth estates in Bordeaux’s Left Bank. Often referred to as the “iron fist in a velvet glove,” Pichon Comtesse is celebrated for its signature blend of power and elegance. The 2020 vintage, shaped by warm, dry conditions and precise vineyard work, has resulted in a wine of remarkable balance, depth, and sensual texture. Cabernet Sauvignon dominates the blend, supported by Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot.

On the nose, the wine reveals seductive aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, and ripe plum, lifted by floral notes of violet and rose petal, with layers of graphite, tobacco, and sweet spice. The palate is full-bodied yet impeccably refined, offering silky tannins, vibrant acidity, and a polished core of dark fruit, earth, and mineral. The finish is long, poised, and resonant, showcasing the finesse and aging potential that define this storied estate.

This wine pairs beautifully with dishes such as beef tenderloin, duck breast with cherry glaze, mushroom Wellington, or aged cheeses like Morbier or Saint-Nectaire—meals that complement its sophistication and depth.
