Château Pichon Baron
Chateau Pichon Baron, a prestigious Pauillac wine estate on Bordeaux’s Left Bank, is renowned for its majestic property and exceptional wines. Under AXA Group since the 1980s, the estate underwent modernization, enhancing its quality to rival First Growths. The 73-hectare vineyard, managed by Christian Seely since 2001, features diverse terroirs and meticulous parcel selection, producing wines of great finesse and complexity. The estate offers three labels: the premier Chateau Pichon Baron, known for its purity and cellaring potential; Les Griffons de Pichon Baron, a distinguished second wine; and Les Tourelles de Longueville, showcasing a fresh, Merlot-driven expression.
