Introduction
Wine
is a Civilization
If civilisation means a combination of values and expertise, a way of life, an aesthetic, then Pichon Comtesse is the heir of civilisation. Our task is not only to perpetuate it but also to reinvent it. Being worthy of the founding Countess and those who have built the reputation of Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande wines for more than two centuries is not about simply repeating what has already been done before. It is about continuing to make progress, researching, innovating, calling our practices into question, moving with the times and looking ahead to the future. Wine is a civilisation that is constantly evolving.
