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. 

Rated 3 stars in the RVF Guide, with a stronger base of Cabernets, it has regained its place as "super second" and has started a new series of legendary wines in the latest vintages. A rise in power now acknowledged by all, in which the wine distinguishes itself from its peers thanks to its classic style and its elegant tannins.
