Château PICHON LONGUEVILLE COMTESSE DE LALANDE 1940
Pauillac

A "First Class Second Growth" was how the Wine Spectator magazine very aptly described Château Pichon Lalande. This property was created as a result of the splitting of the original Château Pichon Longueville, when the owner left it to his children: his son took charge of the current Pichon Longueville Baron, while his daughter, Virginie, who was married to the Comte de Lalande, received the other part of the property, hence the addition of ¿Comtesse de Lalande¿. A determined figure with a passion for wine, Virginie oversaw the property's rise and its establishment in its own right. It remained within her family until 1925, when it was purchased by Edouard and Louis Miailhe.
From 1978 to 2007 the property was managed by another grande dame: Edouard Miailhe's daughter, May-Eliane de Lencquesaing. Grand Chancellor of Bordeaux's Wine Academy, she was known as ¿La Générale¿, thanks to her husband's military career. The feminine influence of the Comtesse a century earlier could not have found a finer echo, and Pichon Lalande's impassioned history is reflected in the special affection that connoisseurs have always had for the château's wines. The property was purchased by the Rouzaud family in 2007, the owners, among other interests, of Roederer champagne.

Of the property's 75 hectares, 11 are in the commune of Saint Julien, giving the wines a certain elegance, uncommon for Pauillac. In addition to the predominant Cabernet Sauvignon, which gives the wines a great capacity to age, there is also an unusually high proportion of Merlot, giving them a remarkable suppleness.
