Chateau Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande, also known as Pichon Lalande, is situated in the Pauillac appellation of Bordeaux and is celebrated for its elegance, finesse, and historic significance. Dating back to the 18th century, the estate spans 89 hectares of vineyards planted primarily with Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot. The gravelly soils provide excellent drainage and contribute to the complexity and structure of their wines.
Under the ownership of the Rouzaud family, who also owns Louis Roederer Champagne, Pichon Lalande has combined tradition with modernity in winemaking practices. Their Grand Vin is acclaimed for its aromatic complexity, balance, and aging potential, reflecting the essence of their terroir. Meticulous oak aging enhances the wine’s texture and depth, offering layers of flavors, supple tannins, and a long, persistent finish that embodies the best of Pauillac.
Réserve de la Comtesse, their second wine, offers a more approachable expression of their terroir while maintaining the estate’s commitment to quality and craftsmanship. The chateau itself is a blend of historic and contemporary architecture, with its elegant facade and manicured gardens serving as a testament to their dedication to producing wines of exceptional character and finesse.
Chateau Pichon Lalande continues to uphold its reputation as one of Pauillac’s premier estates, crafting wines that capture the essence of their prestigious appellation and resonate with wine enthusiasts worldwide.
