Despite its long, rich history, only four families have owned the emblematic Pichon Comtesse estate.
Virginie de Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande was a remarkable figure. A pioneer in what was once a male-dominated wine industry, she worked hard from the 1850s onwards to bolster the reputation of the estate’s wine and also built the château that would bear her name.
Since 2007, the Louis Roederer family-run Champagne House has injected an ambitious, innovative dynamic into the estate.
From restructuring the vineyards to fully converting the estate to organic and biodynamic methods and installing state-of-the-art winemaking facilities, every effort has been made to help the Pichon Comtesse terroir reveal its full potential and produce the finest Pauillac wines, combining elegance, balance, power and finesse
