Chateau Pichon Longueville
Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande, located in Pauillac in the French area of Médoc, is an ancient château dating back to 1686 and was founded by Pierre de Mazure de Rauzan. Managed for many years by female hands, it was with the young Baron Joseph that the company experienced a historical turning point, to the point of being honored by Napoleon III, in 1855, with the title of deuxième grand cru classé. The Château currently belongs to the family of Louis Roederer, who bought it in 2007.
In the approximately eighty hectares of vineyards, the cabernet sauvignon variety is cultivated for the most part, followed in decreasing quantities by merlot, cabernet franc and petit verdot: these are the classic grapes that make up the Bordeaux blend and which give, in the wines of Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande, royalty, complexity, minerality, richness of fruit, balance and harmony.
