Jean-René Matignon, technical director of Pichon Longueville, remembers that when they reintroduced hand-harvesting for the 1987 vintage (like many châteaux in the Médoc, Pichon had experimented with machine harvesting earlier in the decade), they hired a team of traveling pickers who turned out to belong to a circus for the rest of the year. In 1850, the estate was divided in two, with the other half becoming Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande. Their son Jacques married Therese des Mesures de Rauzan, whose father, Pierre Rauzan, a landowner in Margaux, then bought vines in Saint Lambert in southern Pauillac – so beginning the Pichon-Longueville estate. The estate dates back to 1646, to the marriage of Anne de Longueville and Baron Bernard de Pichon. His family were 19th-century coal miners from Nottingham needless to say they owned the mines, rather than went down them.

Rarely seen without his bow tie (he apparently favors those from Charvet on Place Vendome) and bespoke Savile Row suit, Seely studied English at Trinity College, Cambridge, after school at Harrow. Good luck finding a better example of English breeding than AXA Millésime’s English director, Christian Seely, who manages the group's vineyards. Its sister properties include Château Pibran, Château Petit Village, Château Suduiraut (all in the Bordeaux region), Domaine de l’Arlot (Burgundy), Quinta do Noval (Portugal), Disznoko (Hungary), and Mas Belles Eaux (Languedoc) – 525 hectares of vines in total.
