Chateau Pichon-Longueville Baron

The Pichon Baron estate was founded in 1694 by Baron Jacques Pichon de Longueville and his wife Therese (the plots of land which were to become Pichon Baron were bought by her father and part of her dowry when she married). In 1850 the property was divided in two. Baron Raoul Pichon de Longueville’s section became the Pichon Baron estate. The second section, belonging to his three sisters, became Pichon Comtesse. A century and a half later the estate was acquired by AXA Millesimes who invested heavily in renovating the whole operation and who have been and are wonderful custodians of this historical estate. 

Pichon Baron is one of Bordeaux’ very best 2^nd Growth estates. 73 hectares of vineyards are located immediately inland from Chateau Latour’s vineyards in the southern part of Pauillac and are planted with 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and the remainder is Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot.

Pichon Baron’s wines are known for being more muscular, tannic and full-bodied - compared with the wines from the Pichon Longueville Comtesse estate on the other side of the road - yet always balanced by the beautiful rich fruit. Very classy wines.
