The Story
Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande, or Pichon Lalande, is a renowned Pauillac wine, classified as a 2ème Grand Cru Classé (Second Growth). It's known for its elegant, often "feminine" style, due to its higher-than-usual proportion of Merlot in the blend. This gives the wine a softer tannic structure and a more approachable style, especially in younger vintages.
