Critic reviews
"A forward, charming wine that retains plenty of the estate's signature, the 2023 Resèrve de la Comtesse bursts with notes of sweet blackberries, cassis, burning embers and anise. Medium- to full-bodied, fleshy and supple, with a soft, giving profile, this will offer a broad drinking window."
William Kelley, April 2026, RobertParker.com
"The 2023 Pichon Comtesse Réserve has a fragrant bouquet with buoyant red berry fruit, rose petals and iris flower scents that blossom in the glass. Fine delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp tannins, a pleasing salinity and especially spiciness that develops in the mouth, leading to a bright white pepper- and clove-tinged finish. It will just require a couple of years in bottle."

"The 2023 Réserve de la Comtesse is superb. In some recent vintages, I have felt the Réserve was a bit too serious for a second wine. That is not at all the case with the 2023, a wine of sublime elegance and finesse. Floral top notes meld into a core of dark red/purplish fruit, pomegranate, blood orange and cinnamon. This is the Réserve with the highest amount of Cabernet Sauvignon ever."
Antonio Galloni, March 2026, Vinous.com
"Really precise and fresh on the nose, with good depth and structure. It becomes a little more powerful as tannins grow and condense after the midpalate, but the quality is excellent. Fresh red berries, red cherries, minerals and currants throughout, with a touch of herbs and a long, compact finish. Needs two more years in the bottle."
