93/100Decanter

Floral fragrance, lots of purple flowers on the nose with aromatic blue and black berry fruit. Supple and so creamy, this is just gorgeous from the get go, smooth and round, crushed velvety in texture with a slight grip, slight bounce and slight tension. The juicy content is just so great, pure, crystalline, a lick of salty, wet stone, slate, oyster shell. Very Pauillac in the undertone of mint, Cab liquorice and tobacco but so elegant. I love it. A yield of 24hl/ha. Ageing 50% new oak maximum.

92/100 Jane Anson

Zippy and juicy black fruits, good depth through the palate, crunchy and flavourful. Holds on beautifully in the palate, tannins a little tight right now, but this is a wine that always delivers, and that you can feel totally confident will soften and deepen over ageing. 3.7 pH, Nicolas Glumineau

90-92/100 Neal Martin

The 2025 Pichon Comtesse Réserve comes in at 13% alcohol this year, with no Cabernet Franc, which is all in the Grand Vin this year, something that Nicolas Glumineau said was a surprise given the growing season. There is a palpable estuarine influence on the nose, blackberry and bilberry fruit, touches of violet in the background. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins, a fine bead of acidity, very harmonious, with a tingle of cracked black pepper on the finish. Again, a very classically styled cool Pauillac.

90-92/100 Antonio Galloni

The 2025 Réserve de la Comtesse is all class, all finesse. Open-knit floral overtones and silky, polished tannins announce a Réserve that is more about restraint than power. Rose petal, dark red cherry, plum, mocha, new leather and licorice build with time in the glass. There's plenty of textural depth in this captivating Réserve.

90-92/100 Jeb Dunnuck

A blend of 52% Cabernet Sauvignon, 46% Merlot, and 2% Petit Verdot, the 2025 Pichon Comtesse Reserve is a complex, nuanced second wine with cassis, green tobacco, lead pencil, and damp earth all defining the aromatics. Medium-bodied on the palate, it has ripe, polished tannins and good complexity.
