Pichon-Longuevilles historie kan spores helt tilbage til 1688. Pichon-Longueville Comtesse de Lalande til blev, da den store Pichon-Longueville ejendom blev delt i 1850, da Virginie de Pichon-Longueville arvede 3/5 af ejendommen. I 1925 blev slottet solgt til Edourd Miailhe og hans bror. Edourd Miailhes datter May-Éliane de Lencquesaing overtog ejendommen i 1978. Hun renoverede slottet i 1980´erne, og der blev opført en helt ny kælder.
I 2007 købte champagnehuset Louis Roederer dette fantastiske slot og ansatte Sylvie Cazes som direktør. Pichon-Longueville Comtesse de Lalande er en af Pauillacs mest feminine og bløde vine, hvilket kan skyldes den høje andel af Merlot.
I dag har Pichon-Longueville Comtesse de Lalande rigtig mange faste fans, der køber vinen for at lægge den i kælderen, men det er også én af de vine, som indkøbes af mere spekulative årsager.

Composed of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot, the 2017 Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande has a medium to deep garnet-purple color and is a little closed to begin, soon revealing floral notes of lilacs and lavender over a core of black raspberries, warm blackberries and forest floor plus touches of star anise and stewed black tea. Medium-bodied, the palate is a bundle of energy and tension with softly played tannins and beautiful floral and black fruit layers, finishing with a long-lingering whisper. Drinking Window : 2021 - 2049
A sleek, precisely dialed-in Pauillac, with a pure and racy beam of cassis, blackberry and dark plum fruit inlaid with a mouthwatering iron note. A backdrop of singed alder and sweet tobacco waits in reserve, while the finish sails through with great cut. Possesses a regal feel. Best from 2025 through 2040. — JM
The 2017 Pichon-Longueville Comtesse de Lalande is a dark, powerful, somber Pauillac. Dark fruit, grilled herbs, smoke and licorice add to its distinctly brooding personality. In multiple tastings the 2017 has been incredibly tight and shut down. Readers will have to be especially patient. Estate Director Nicolas Glumineau has overseen a number of showy, majestic wines since he arrived at Pichon Comtesse in 2013. The 2017 appears to be cut from a different cloth, as it is incredibly reticent in the early going.
