Few winemakers can match Nicolas Glumineau at Pichon-Comtesse when it comes to pure passion and a total dedication to making the very best wine possible. “I’m just a second growth,” he says with typical modesty. “For many people Pichon-Comtesse will never be as highly regarded as the First Growths.” I am not sure I agree. The 2018 Pichon-Comtesse is one of the wines of the vintage and is shaping up to be very close to the 2016 in terms of quality. “The biggest difference between 2018 and 2016 is not the Cabernets, but the Merlots, and we are on the Left Bank,” Glumineau added “I think 2018 is more heterogenous than people expect, because as winemakers we had to ask ourselves ‘What kind of wine do I want to make?’”
