The opportunity to start again with a project at Pichon Comtesse … was simply fantastic! Passing from the “only” management of Montrose to that of the chateaus de Pez and Pichon, undergoing a total technical revival, Nicolas Glumineau measures the change of scale: “It was an immense pleasure to participate in great vintages on the technical but also more general plan in an estate as Château Montrose. Technician with a brilliant path, having started his career in the chateaus Haut-Brion and Margaux, he assumes the role with the approval of Frédéric Rouzaud, managing director of the group Roederer. In late 2012, Sylvie Cazes, Chief Executive Officer, willing to devote herself to the Center for Wine and Civilization, passes on the torch to Nicolas Glumineau, then director for six years of Château Montrose (Second Classed Growth, Saint-Estèphe). The 90 hectares are then restructured to preserve the exceptional personality of the wine, marked by elegance and balance. In January 2007, Mrs de Lencquesaing leaves to South Africa and the Champagne House Louis Roederer buys this Classed Grand Cru with the ambition to pursue the accomplished work and to maintain the domain at a high level of prestige and quality. Ambassadress and owner, she was often respectfully called “Madam the General”. She offers this vineyard an international renown thanks to the wines' quality, her strong personality and her pleasure in communicating. In 1978, May-Éliane de Lencquesaing receives in turn this magnificent domain and completely commits herself there. In 1850, Virginie de Pichon Longueville, Countess De Lalande by her marriage, inherits with her two sisters of 3/5 of their father's vineyard which will bear a few years later the name of Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande. Pichon Longueville takes root in the 17th century. Second classed growth in 1855, Château Pichon Comtesse de Lalande, in the middle of the appellation Pauillac, surrounded with famous neighbours such as the chateaus Latour, Léoville Las Cases or Pichon Baron, remains a place marked by History, with wines of character that cannot leave indifferent.
