Chateau Pichon-Longueville Baron, Pauillac
2eme Cru Classé wine in a historical estate
Located in the heart of the Pauillac area, this 73-hectares estate is planted mostly with Cabernet Sauvignon, but also Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. The aristocratic chateau was built in the 19th century in a Renaissance style.
This historical estate's history goes back to the late 17th century, when it was founded by Pierre Desmezures de Rauzan, a major wine merchant and steward of the prestigious Latour and Margaux estates who bought vines close to the former. They were part of his daughter Thérèse's dowry, who married Baron Jacques Pichon Longueville in 1694.
The imposing chateau was built in 1851 in a romantic Renaissance style. In 1855, the wine was classified Second Cru Classé. The estate was totally renovated in 1988 after an architectural competition. As well as the Second Cru Classé, they produce another two reds.
