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.

Aromas of blueberries and blackcurrants with some stone and sandalwood undertones. Medium-bodied with a solid core of fruit and a fresh and delicious finish. Classy tannins that are fine and textured. Such sophistication. Drink after 2027 and onwards.
The 2020 Pichon-Longueville Comtesse de Lalande has a very intense bouquet with layers of black fruit, hints of seaweed/brine, crushed stone, and perhaps less mint than it displayed from barrel. This possesses stunning delineation, like a perfect C major chord echoing around an empty cathedral. The palate is very well balanced, much more classic in style than its barrel showing, saline to its core, with hints of brine. A Pauillac where you can really sense the Gironde estuary flowing through its veins. Nicolas Glumineau has one of his finest creations on his hands, and when it grows up, it will be challenging First Growths.
A wow wine, packed with cassis, loganberry and mulberry flavors that hint at the vintage’s warmth, but this stays poised and fresh, with a sleek structure built on graphite and iron. There’s violet and lilac lift in the background and a groundswell of sweet tobacco, savory and singed cedar details that emerge through the finish, all with a fine-grained and rather luxurious feel. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Best from 2030 through 2045.
