Château Pichon Baron, second Grand Cru Classé in 1855, is one of the great historic vineyards of Bordeaux. The estate was founded in the late 17th century. This period was known as the Grand Siècle, or “great century”, in reference to Louis XIV’s accession to the French throne in 1661.

We are situated in the south of Pauillac, a Médoc appellation some 40 kilometres north of Bordeaux, on the left bank of the Gironde.

The land, which features quaternary gravel deposits and the large pebbles and sand which are typical of the appellation, is a winemaking paradise. The estate comprises 73 hectares of high-quality gravelly soil. Low in nutrients and with little excess water, this unique soil sparingly nourishes the vines, around 35 years old on average.

Our Grand Vin Château Pichon Baron is made using grapes from the very oldest vines grown on the historic plots of the estate. This authentic Pauillac offers a profound and intensive sensory experience of great complexity.

Château Pichon Baron excels in terms of elegance, intensity. and exceptional length on the palate.

It is a wine that improves year after year, and can age for over 40 years in the cellar.
