Producer
The property was founded in the late 17th century. This period was known as the Grand Siècle or "great century". In 1689, the influential wine merchant and manager of the prestigious Latour and Margaux manors, Pierre Desmezures de Rauzan, bought vineyards near the Latour estates to form the Enclos Rauzan. These vines were part of his daughter Teresa's dowry when she married Baron Jacques Picon de Longoueville in 1694, the year the Baron of Pichon was founded. An outstanding property with a long-standing reputation was born. It remained in the same family for generations. Château Pichon Baron, the Second Grand Cru Classé in 1855, is one of the largest historic vineyards in Bordeaux. A strict selection policy in the vineyard and cellars ensures the production of Grand Vin, Château Pichon Baron.
Tasting notes
Deep, inky purple in color. Aromas of blackcurrant, cedar, graphite, violets, and subtle tobacco leaf. The palate is rich and powerful, yet impeccably balanced, with fine-grained tannins, concentrated dark fruit, mineral tension, and a long, refined finish. A wine built for decades of evolution.
Pairing
Perfect with dry-aged beef, rack of lamb, venison, or dishes featuring black truffle. Its structure and intensity also complement aged hard cheeses. Ideal for celebratory dining and cellar aging.

Cabernet Sauvignon
Cabernet Sauvignon wines shows a strong body, high acidity and high levels of tannins. A bouquet is very intensive, with black berries and spices. Very often these wines has great aging potential.
Pauillac
The home of three out of the five cult wine houses of the Grand Cru classification - Lafitte-Rothschild, Latour and Mouton-Rothschild. The soil is poor - big rocks in the gravel makes it difficult for the vine roots to get water but this allows them to gather lots of valuable minerals on the way. The taste of fresh fruit, wood and spicy tannins combined with a rich aroma of cigar boxes and dark berries are the qualities that make this appellation a true value. Winemakers use all the grapes allowed in the region - Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot.
Bordeaux
Bordeaux wines are considered to be the most prestige and renowned in the world. The region is mainly known for its dry red wines made from Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot grapes, and one can almost always find the word Château (French for „castle”) on Bordeaux wine labels. In order to understand the style of wine most desirable for your taste, it is recommended to try different samples from the Left as well as the Right Bank of The Gironde. Both banks differ not only with different soil, but also with the share of specific wines. There are several classifications in Bordeaux but the main one, introduced in 1855, hasn’t changed since and still impacts wine prices nowadays. A few years later, in 1936, an alternative classification system - Crus Bourgeois - was established. Bordeaux is known for a commerce praxis called en primeur - it means that a buyer can purchase wines immediately after harvest and prior to production for a substantially lower price, thus obtaining the opportunity to sell them for a larger profit later in the future. Bordeaux wines can be described as big, complex and with a strong character, but very friendly at the same time so that each and every wine lover could find something tasty and suitable for a great wine night.
