Description
A full-bodied and complex red wine from Pauillac
The property
As the Second Grand Cru Classé of Pauillac, the magnificent Château Pichon-Longueville Comtesse de Lalande shines in the Pauillac appellation.
It was in 1925 that the Miailhe family, represented by Édouard and Louis Miailhe, acquired this property on the left bank of Bordeaux. An emblematic figure of Gironde viticulture, May-Eliane de Lencquesaing, daughter of Edouard Miailhe, managed Château Pichon-Longueville Comtesse de Lalande from 1978 to 2007, when the estate was acquired by the Rouzaud family, owners of the Champagne House Louis Roederer.
The vineyard
This large Pauillac vineyard is located on soils composed of gravelly mounds on sandy-clay subsoils.
Grape varieties
Cabernet sauvignon, merlot, cabernet franc, and petit verdot.
