Wine Spectator

“A black color with purple highlights and a complex bouquet (of blackcurrant with subtle woody, vanilla, smoky, and toasty notes) for this second wine, which is full-bodied, rich, powerful, and remarkably balanced.” (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2018) Superb! Delivered in a wooden case for orders of 6 bottles of this wine (excluding the “Point Relais” delivery method)

Wine rated 16.5/20 (Benchmark wine)

Rated estate (2020 guide): 4*Stars (Producers of the very highest quality, the pride of French viticulture)

About the wine:

At this stage, it appears more harmonious and balanced than the grand vin, with slightly less body but freshness, finesse, and a more pronounced finish.

About the estate:

The Louis Roederer champagne house acquired this highly renowned vineyard with the firm intention of restoring it—after a few disappointing vintages—to its status as a model grand cru. Significant efforts have been made in viticulture, increasingly inspired by organic farming; a state-of-the-art winemaking facility has been built; and the blends have emphasized the proportion of Cabernet Sauvignon while retaining the contributions of the three other grape varieties, which give the wine its unique character. The wine has gained in vigor without losing its charm and finesse.

Wine rated (2017 guide) 91/100 (Excellent wine)

Estate rated "Recommended" (Wine producer recommended by Robert Parker—The Wine Advocate)

About the wine:

The 2014 Réserve de Comtesse de Lalande has a very fresh and vibrant bouquet with beautiful black fruit notes infused with cedar that capture the essence of Pauillac. On the palate, it is medium-bodied with fine tannins, crisp and elegant, and features lively acidity. It seems fairly linear at the moment, and perhaps the finish could have offered even more complexity in proportion to the aromatic profile. However, this second wine is infused with bursts of freshness and features a palpable salinity on the finish.

Rated Estate (2020 Guide) 2*Stars (These exceptional estates, often boasting fabulous terroirs, are must-haves that, thanks to the consistency and excellence of their wines, deserve a place in the cellars of discerning wine lovers)

About the estate:

Part of the Rouzaud family (Louis Roederer champagnes) since 2007, the estate began a new chapter in its history nearly a decade ago. Under the leadership of Nicolas Glumineau, it has since re-entered the race for excellence and aims to reclaim the “super second” status it held in the 1980s, thanks to a series of legendary vintages (1982, 1986, 1989). While the 2000s were less successful, the most recent vintages—delivering a more precise and straightforward wine, with a stronger emphasis on Cabernet—are far more compelling.

About the wine:

Aromas of rose petals, blackcurrant, and berries. Medium to full-bodied, with nice acidity and a soft, velvety mouthfeel. Round and approachable. Pichon Lalande’s second wine. Best enjoyed starting in 2019.
