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.

The intense floral bouquet kicks off the nose before getting to all of its cigar wrappers, blackberries, cocoa, cassis, chocolate, black cherries, and gentle spices in the aromas. As good as that is, the palate steals the show with its opulent, showy display of sweet, silky, perfectly ripe berries, with touches of cocoa, and sea salt. The intense finish is long, velvety, and vibrant. In short, everything is exactly where it should be. Due to its creamy nature, the wine can be enjoyed young. But it can age for 30-40 years easily. With 2025, the top three things to keep track of was staying focused and ready to pick once the grapes achieved their ideal ripeness was imperative. Picking the Merlot al dente was another key factor. Lastly, being patient for the Cabernet Sauvignon to achieve full, phenolic ripeness sealed the deal. In the cellars, less pump overs early in the fermentation, followed by an infusion of the berries was another key point. The wine blends 81% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot, and 4% Cabernet Franc. 13% ABV. 3.7 pH. The harvest took place August 28 - September 24. This is the earliest start to a harvest in the history of Pichon Lalande. Yields were a paltry 24 hectoliters per hectare. Only 55% of the harvest went into the Grand Vin. The wine is aging in 65% new, French oak barrels. Drink from 2032-2070.
Pure cassis, leafy herbs, spring flowers, and graphite all emerge from the 2025 Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse De Lalande, a blend of 81% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot, and 4% Cabernet Franc. It's medium to full-bodied on the palate, has a flawlessly balanced mouthfeel, ultra-fine tannins, and an incredible finish. The balance, length, complexity, and pure class here are exceptional. It hit 13% alcohol with a pH of 3.7 and an IPT of 73. Hats off to director Nicolas Glumineau for another absolutely sensational Comtesse!
The 2025 Pichon-Longueville Comtesse de Lalande is a total stunner. A wine of depth and intensity, it soars out of the glass with layers of nuance and complexity. The 2025 has it all: aromatics, fruit density and structure to match. Pichon Comtesse is shaping up to be one of the wines of the vintage.
