Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande
Between the Gironde estuary and the gravel ridges of Pauillac, Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande has carried a 17th‑century legacy into the 1855 Classification as a Deuxième Grand Cru Classé—power refined by poise, never by excess.
After the estate was divided in 1850, the “Comtesse” line wrote its own story. The Miailhe brothers took the reins in 1925, and from 1978 May‑Éliane de Lencquesaing steered vineyard choices and cellar discipline with quiet authority, before the Rouzaud family of Louis Roederer ushered in a new era in 2007.
Deep Médoc gravels tempered by clay and the estuary’s cooling breath shape Cabernet Sauvignon with a supple Merlot counterpoint and touches of Cabernet Franc. Parcel selection, careful extraction and élevage that respects texture over make‑up translate Pauillac’s architecture into a composed, long‑lined style.Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande
