The early history of Château Pichon Lalande naturally matches that of its twin sibling, Pichon-Baron, as both were created from the great Pichon estate. The estate as a whole dates back to the time of Bernard de Longueville, the son of François de Pichon and Catherine de Bavolier. The family assumed the Barony of Longueville when Bernard married Anne Daffis de Longueville in 1646.
In 1925, Château Pichon-Longueville Comtesse-de-Lalande was bought by Edouard and Louis Miailhe. Edouard’s daughter, May Eliane de Lencquesaing (born in 1926) became the owner and manager of the property in 1978. Under May Eliane the wine went from strength to strength and its reputation soared into the top category of second growths. In fact many believe that it should now be re-classed as a first growth. The second wine, Réserve de la Comtesse, is a very good wine in its own right and often a more affordable alternative! In 2006, de Lencquesaing sold a majority interest in the Château to the Rouzaud
