The story behind the bottle
The name Pichon Comtesse refers to Virginie de Pichon Longueville, Countess of Lalande. The estate has been classified as a Deuxièmes Grands Crus Classés of Pauillac since 1855 and was acquired in 2007 by the Rouzaud family, known for Champagne Louis Roederer. In Bordeaux, 2017 brought severe spring frosts to some areas; the effects varied greatly depending on the specific vineyard location. This original wooden case contains six bottles from the same vintage.
