Inside Pichon Comtesse with Florent Genty - Wine Wednesday Recap
The Place de Bordeaux, the 2022 Pauillac release, and what’s next for Club dVIN members.
Wine Wednesday Recap: Château Pichon Comtesse Joins Us
Last night, Wine Wednesday featured a very special guest: Florent Genty, Commercial Director of Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande.
Florent shared his story—from the Loire Valley to Paris, China, and finally Pauillac—and gave us a behind-the-scenes look at how one of Bordeaux’s most iconic estates connects with collectors worldwide. At the center of it all is the Place de Bordeaux, a 250-year-old distribution system that still powers fine wine around the globe. With 85+ markets in play, Florent’s job is making sure Pichon Comtesse reaches the right hands in every corner.
We also talked winemaking philosophy: respect for terroir, a mix of tradition and innovation, and a commitment to crafting wines that show elegance and precision.
And yes—Rodolfo confirmed the news everyone was waiting for: today’s members-only drop is Château Pichon Comtesse 2022 Pauillac. A classic in the making, and one not to miss. 🍷
Key Takeaways
Florent’s role: building global connections with collectors across 85+ countries.
The Place de Bordeaux: still the backbone of fine wine distribution after 250 years.
The wines: defined by elegance, balance, and authenticity.
For members: today’s drop is Pichon Comtesse 2022 Pauillac.
