2021 Pichon Baron

Pichon Baron, a historic wine estate In 1689, Pierre Desmezures de Rauzan, manager of the prestigious estates of Latour and Margaux, created the Enclos Rauzan. Five years later, when his daughter Thérèse married Baron Jacques de Pichon Longueville, it became the Pichon Longueville estate. In 1851, Baron Raoul de Pichon Longueville, who had just inherited part of this vineyard (the other part went to his sisters who founded Pichon Comtesse), created the Pichon Baron estate. Proud of his property, he built in 1851 the majestic Château that we know today, inspired by the Renaissance style. Since then, this château with its two emblematic turrets, of an unequalled romanticism and charm, is enthroned in the heart of the vineyard. His commitment was rewarded in 1855 when the estate was consecrated Second Grand Cru Classé. In 1987, Axa Millésimes bought the property with the ambition of restoring its former glory. A vast renovation project was then launched, giving rise, among other things, to the famous water mirror that stretches out at the foot of the Château and the underground cellar worthy of the Nautilus. The 73 hectares of the Pichon Baron vineyard are spread over very high quality gravelly soil. This unique soil, low in nutrients and without excess water, sparingly nourishes the different varieties of vines.
