Château Pichon Comtesse
The Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse is one of the great names of the Pauillac appellation, embodying an elegance Rare unequalled. It was in 1694 that Baron Jacques Pichon de Longueville, first president of the Parliament of Bordeaux, gave his name to this highly reputed vineyard, which he acquired through marriage to the heiress of the De Rauzan family.
He took care before his death to separate Domaine into two parts: one would become Château Pichon Baron and go to his two sons, and while the other would become Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse, destined for his three daughters.
The Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse will be recognized as the Second Grand Cru Classé in the 1855 classification for the Paris Universal Exhibition.
Owned by the House of Champagne Louis Roederer since 2007, Domaine has benefited from numerous technical renovations to make the most of its exceptional terroir. The vineyard covers 90 hectares, planted with 62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 28% Merlot, 7% Cabernet Franc and 3% Petit Verdot.
A Second wine is produced by the estate, Réserve de la Comtesse, in the same spirit of finesse and purity as its elder brother.
The Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse is renowned for its balance, breed and depth, and is unquestionably one of Bordeaux's greatest wines.
