In the 1855 classification, Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande acquired the status of 2 eme Cru Classé. Her passion and the quality of her management made her a strong personality in the Médoc and she very much left her mark on the domain. Virginie married Count Henri de Lalande, giving her the title, and took over control of the domain. However, only two of his children finally inherited the vineyards Raoul and Virginie. It was divided upon the death of Baron Joseph in 1850 between his five children. The estate was founded in 1689 by Pierre de Mazure de Rauzan and the vineyard acquired its name a few years later when his daughter Thérèse received it as part of her dowry on her marriage to Jacques de Pichon Longueville, the first President of the Parliament of Bordeaux.
