Description
A balanced red wine from Pauillac with a beautiful structure
The property
Second Grand Cru Classé from 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, the date of the estate's acquisition by the Rouzaud family, owners of the Champagne House Louis Roederer.
The vineyard
This large Pauillac vineyard rests on soils composed of gravelly hills on clay-sandy subsoils.
Grape varieties
Cabernet sauvignon, merlot, cabernet franc and petit verdot.
