1 x 75cl. The Pichon Baron estate was founded in 1694 by Baron Jacques Pichon de Longueville and his wife Therese. 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. Pichon Baron is one of Bordeaux' very best 2nd Growth estates, with 73 hectares of vineyards located inland from Chateau Latour's vineyards in the southern part of Pauillac. The vineyards 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 muscular, tannic, and full-bodied.
