Château Pichon Lalande 'Pichon Comtesse Reserve' 2022
This is the second wine of Château Pichon-Longueville de Comtesse de Lalande, one of Pauillac's most elegant estates. The 'Comtesse Reserve' captures the house style of refinement and grace that has made Pichon Lalande legendary among Left Bank châteaux. Where many Pauillac wines rely on power, this estate has always chosen finesse. The 2022 vintage shows the château's skill with a challenging year, delivering classic cassis fruit wrapped in cedar and graphite, with tannins that speak softly but carry authority.
Santenay Premier Cru 'Beauregard', Edouard Delaunay 2023
Est. delivery in 2026 Edouard Delaunay's 2023 reds are more refined, with less power than the previous years, offering more elegance and poise. The acidity is well-integrated, and the tannins are fine and soft, especially in the wines from the southern parts of Nuits-Saint-Georges (NSG), which do not include any whole bunches. The reds from 2023 show great potential for ageing, with enough structure to develop further while maintaining a fresh, layered character. Overall, the 2023 vintage is a welcome surprise, offering a balance of power and elegance. With a focus on terroir expression, the wines show great ageing potential and freshness, with no over-ripeness or dilution. The whites are bright, fresh, and pure, while the reds show refinement and elegance, with a good structure for future ageing. While some of the wines are still developing, there is much to look forward to in the coming years. Delaunay features as one of the Top 15 Négociants & Cooperatives in Tim Atkin's Burgundy 2023 Special Report.
