With unfailing regularity and balance, the Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande, neighbor to the famous Latour and Pichon Baron, excels in the production of great wines of Pauillac. It has reached new heights in the hands of the Rouzaud family - Louis Roederer and Deutz champagnes, Maison Delas -, who gifted it with a new and state of the art winery and vat house. 

This gave a new breath to the Château, which has since resumed its place as a “super-second” and began to create truly legendary wines in recent vintages.
