My Journey with Wine

May-Éliane de Lencquesaing, now 99, comes from an ancient line of Bordeaux wine-growers and brokers and an Anglo-Spanish family from the Philippines. Having married a career army officer, she led a nomadic life with her children before drawing lots to determine the allocation of her father’s legacy and ending up with the vineyard of Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande in Pauillac. She rebuilt the reputation of this estate’s wines to rival the best in France, and promoted them across the world to great acclaim. Then, at the age of seventy-eight she moved to South Africa for a new adventure in wine-making.
