What are the grape varieties used by Château Pichon-Longueville Comtesse de Lalande and what makes its grape composition original?
The variety and proportion of grape varieties at Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande are unique within the appellation. The blend is dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon (64%), which provides structure and depth. It is complemented by Merlot (27%), which contributes roundness and suppleness, as well as Cabernet Franc (6%) and Petit Verdot (3%), which add touches of complexity and spice. The proportion of Merlot, unusually generous for a great Pauillac, is one of the estate's historical signatures and partly explains the seductive appeal its wines display from a young age.
