However, the amount of Cabernet Sauvignon in the blends is increasing to lend more structure and backbone to future vintages. Wines from Comtesse de Lalande are some of the most voluptuous to come from the Médoc due to the high proportion of Merlot in the blend. This helps to explain the quality of the wine at Comtesse de Lalande, which is sometimes referred to as "nearly first growth".Īll five Bordeaux grapes are grown on the estate's 85 hectares (210 acres) in both Pauillac and Saint-Julien, although historically this was dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot. It neighbors first-growth powerhouse, Château Latour, with whom the estate shares a similar terroir and climate. Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande is one of the most significant second growths in Pauillac, Bordeaux.
