]]> Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande, also known as Pichon Lalande, is an iconic wine estate in the Pauillac appellation on the left bank of the Bordeaux region of France. Its history dates back to the 17th century. The estate was created by Pierre de Mazure de Rauzan in the early 18th century, when he acquired part of the vast Rauzan vineyard in Pauillac. At the time, it was known as Château Pichon Longueville. The vineyard grew over the years, thanks in particular to the acquisition of adjacent land. In 1850, the de Pichon Longueville family inherited the estate and, through the marriage of Sophie de Pichon Longueville to Count Henri de Lalande, the name was changed to Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande. The estate has known periods of glory and decline throughout its history. In the 19th century, it was renowned for producing wines of exceptional quality, and was often ranked among the top Bordeaux crus. During the phylloxera crisis at the end of the 19th century, the estate was forced to reduce its surface area and suffered economic difficulties.

However, from the mid-twentieth century onwards, Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande enjoyed a renaissance thanks to passionate and determined owners. In 1978, the de Lencquesaing family took over the reins of the estate and undertook major investments to restore the vines, modernise the facilities and improve the quality of the wines. Under the leadership of May-Éliane de Lencquesaing, the estate has become world-renowned for its exceptional wines. Pichon Lalande wines are distinguished by their elegance, complexity and ability to age gracefully.

In 2007, the Rouzaud family, owners of the Louis Roederer champagne house, acquired Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande. They have continued to invest in the estate and preserve Pichon Lalande's tradition of excellence. Today, the estate covers around 85 hectares of vines, planted mainly with Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. The château also produces a second wine called "Réserve de la Comtesse", as well as a white wine under the "Pauillac" appellation. Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande remains a symbol of Bordeaux excellence, combining tradition, history and expertise to produce top-quality wines that are appreciated by wine-lovers the world over.

]]> « Lafite has a soul, a beautiful soul, tender and generous. Lafite turns the earth into a dream. Lafite is harmony, harmony between nature and man, because without our wonderful winegrowers, nothing would be done ».
Baron Eric de Rothschild

As early as 1815, the broker Guillaume Lawton said of Château Lafite: "I have classified it as possessing the most elegance and delicacy and the finest sap of the three [Premiers Crus]. The position of its vines is one of the most beautiful in the Médoc. In 1855, the Château was consecrated 1er Grand Cru on the occasion of the famous Classification drawn up at the Universal Exhibition.

]]> Château Mouton Rothschild is a renowned Medoc wine estate located in the commune of Pauillac. It produces one of the most prestigious Bordeaux wines, in the Pauillac appellation. In 1973, although no modification was ever granted in the 1855 classification, Baron Philippe obtained - not without difficulty - the revision and Mouton officially joined the elite of the First Classified Growths of Bordeaux. When he died in 1988, his daughter Philippine took over the reins, assisted by an outstanding technical team, and successfully maintained her father's projects until his death in 2014. Today, his three children Camille Sereys de Rothschild, Philippe Sereys de Rothschild and Julien de Beaumarchais de Rothschild manage the estate together. Originally named "Château Mouton", it has been owned by the English branch of the Rothschild family since 1853. Every year since 1945, the label has been illustrated by a famous artist (including Chagall, Miro, Picasso...). The chateau's emblem is the ram.
