Producer Profile

Chateau Pichon Baron

If the physical outline of one chateau embodies the romance and renown of the best Medoc estates, it has to be 1855 Second Growth Pichon-Longueville au Baron de Pichon-Longueville, now known simply as Pichon Baron, whose 19th century spires, reflected in the ornamental pond in front of the estate, form one of the emblematic images of Bordeaux. And as with Chateau Margaux, you often find there are photographers standing outside wanting to capture this particular piece of Medoc history.

Inside, in contrast, this is a resolutely modern estate, constantly innovating and refining its techniques. Director Christian Seely has been in charge here since French insurance giant AXA Millesimes bought the estate in 1987. The 73-hectare vineyard is planted to 62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot, and the remainder split between Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, but it is the Cabernet which dominates the masculine style of its first wine, up to 80% in most years.

The most significant project in recent years has been the new barrel cellars, which were designed by architect Alain Triaud, and new vinification rooms, designed by Jean de Gasting and Patrick Dillon, all set underneath the reflective pond. Low-impact techniques are used throughout, such as gravity-feeding of the grapes, peristaltic pumps and manual punching down of the cap during fermentation. There are innovations in customer relations also – since 2011, all bottles come with a QR code , allowing clients to simply scan the code on their mobile to access videos, tasting notes and vintage information on the wines.

The estate has two second wines, Les Tourelles de Pichon Baron and Les Griffons de Pichon Baron.
