12bouteilles.com selected this magnificent second wine from the Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande, La Réserve de la Comtesse 2009.

It is a second Cru Classé of Pauillac which belongs to the Rouzaud family (Champagne Louis Roederer).

This 2009 vintage is a great vintage, benefiting from optimal climatic conditions. Its deep red color is intense, the nose has black fruit aromas, the palate is fruity, full-bodied, and the finish is long.

The vintage is ready to drink now, however you can keep it for about ten years  

The advice of 12bouteilles: To release all its aromas, do not forget to ventilate the Comtesse Reserve 2 hours before tasting it. This Pauillac wine is ideal to accompany a red meat, a steak in particular.
