Château Pichon-Longueville Comtesse de Lalande 2021 - 2nd Cru Class

Resulting from the division of Pichon-Longueville in 1850, "Pichon Comtesse" extends over a vineyard of 89 hectares with a richness drawn from a soil of Garonne gravel on clay. With eleven hectares of vines overflowing into the commune of Saint-Julien, and a grape variety that leaves a lot of room for Merlot in a region where Cabernet Sauvignon is widely favored, the château is an exception within the Pauillac appellation.

Since 2007, the Rouzaud family, owners of the Louis Roederer champagne house, has taken over the destiny of Pichon Comtesse with the ambition to maintain it at a very high level of quality and prestige. Under the impetus of Nicolas Glumineau, appointed general manager in 2012, the château is gradually regaining the status of "super second" that it had acquired in the 1980s thanks to a series of legendary vintages: 1982, 1986 and 1989. These are the ultimate references that each vintage must come as close as possible to.

After the new winery, the restructuring of the vineyard started in 2007 and will continue until 2030. The property beats to the rhythm of uprooting and replanting of vines, all cultivated in biodynamic methods.
