Pichon Comtesse is the silkier, more perfumed half of the old Pichon estate, today owned by the Rouzaud family of Champagne Louis Roederer. The 2014 is one of those sneaky-good classical Pauillac vintages that the market briefly underrated and the cellar crowd quietly piled into. A traditional Cabernet-led blend rounded with Merlot and a kiss of Petit Verdot, it has the floral, graphite-edged Comtesse signature plus enough structure to keep evolving. The 2014s are drinking beautifully now and have a long road ahead.
