ROEDERER ACQUIRES CHATEAU PICHON
It has been confirmed that after months of speculation, the Rouzaud family of Louis Roederer (producer of Cristal) has taken over Chateau Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande.
Pichon Lalande owner May-Eliane de Lencquesaing will sell a majority interest in the chateau as well as nearby cru bourgeois estate Chateau Bernadotte and a South African property, Glenelly, which she bought in 2003.
Managing director Gildas d'Ollone, de Lencquesaing's nephew, will continue to run the estate, and there will be no changes in personnel. The exact amount to be retained by the Lencquesaing family has yet to be settled, along with their exact role once the alliance is finalized
