2025 Chateau Pichon Baron - Pauillac (750ml) [Bordeaux Future ETA 2028]

Pichon Baron, ode to the Cabernet-Sauvignon

In 1689, Pierre Desmezures de Rauzan established Enclos Rauzan, which became the Pichon Longueville estate in 1694. In 1851, Baron Raoul de Pichon Longueville founded Pichon Baron, featuring its iconic château. Recognized as a Second Growth Grand Cru Classé in 1855, the estate was acquired by Axa Millésimes in 1987, initiating extensive renovations. Under the leadership of Christian Seely for over 20 years, a modern tasting area was inaugurated in 2023.
