i. Biography
Christophe Congé is a Bordeaux oenologist and winemaker who joined Domaines Barons de Rothschild in 1999 and spent more than two decades across Château Lafite Rothschild and Château Duhart-Milon, where he worked as an oenologist and wine operations manager. In March 2022, he was appointed Managing Director of Château Lafon-Rochet in Saint-Estèphe, marking a move from the Lafite properties to the Jacky Lorenzetti-owned estate.
In late 2024, reports indicated he was being moved within the Lorenzetti group to direct Château Pédesclaux, while Vincent Bache-Gabrielsen took over Lafon-Rochet.
