Bordeaux 2024: Tasting at Pichon Comtesse

Pauillac, Medoc
Tasted Friday, July 12, 2024 by Vinjahideen with 10 views

Introduction

Welcomed by the commercial manager, Florent G, this was by far the most tailored and informative tour; looking over Latour and the plain, the tasting room is one of the best;

These are the most feminine of the Pauillac; they are aromatic, elegant and delicate; remain my go-to Pauillac;
