Chateau Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande 2nd Growth Classed 2008, 0.75
Château Pichon Comtesse is an estate in Pauillac on the Left Bank of Bordeaux. In the Bordeaux Classification of 1855, the estate was ranked as a Second Growth and belongs to an unofficial group called the "Super Seconds." It is located in the southern part of the Pauillac appellation, immediately next to Château Latour and a short distance from the border with Saint-Julien. The attractive château building here can be seen from road D2 as you approach Pauillac from the south, across the street from Château Pichon Baron. The two neighbors were once part of a larger estate, which was divided in two in 1850. From 1978 to the mid-2000s, Pichon Comtesse was managed by Madame May-Eliane de Lencquesaing, one of the most distinguished women in Bordeaux's history.
Today, the estate belongs to the Rouzaud family, owners of Louis Roederer Champagne. The estate, which currently has 80 hectares of vineyards, is managed by the talented winemaker Nicolas Glumineau. Nicolas and his team also manage Château de Pez, a sister estate to the north in Saint-Estèphe.
