What is the official classification of Château Pichon-Longueville Comtesse de Lalande in the 1855 classification?
Château Pichon-Longueville Comtesse de Lalande is classified as a Deuxième Grand Cru Classé in the official 1855 Bordeaux wine classification. This prestigious rank, which it shares with a handful of chosen Médoc estates, does not, however, fully capture its true standing in the world of wine. Since the late 1970s, the estate's reputation has reached that of a "super second" and a "near first", owing to the consistency of its quality. Wine Spectator has moreover awarded it the title of "Second Cru de Première Classe", a rare recognition that perfectly illustrates its level of excellence.
