About this product
Dry, Medium Bodied style of Cabernet MerlotBordeaux, FranceSeparating it from its across the road neighbour, Pichon Comtesse has a charming little Château which is currently being used as a residence by the owner, Madame de Lencquesaing. The wines strike a beautiful balance between the power of Pauillac and the richer, St-Julien. Not surprising as their vineyards fall over the two appellations! Heralded as one of the great 2nd growths, the close to 50/50 blend of Cabernet and Merlot wines deliver great finesse and breeding.
