Winery | The history of the Pichon family goes back to the Middle Ages. Since then, numerous family members have played a role in the history of Bordeaux. In 1964, Jacques de Pichon, Baron de Longueville, married the daughter of Pierre de Rauzan, who created the estate. Their descendants were thereafter involved in the property of Pauillac. Raoul de Pichon-Longueville built the current Château in 1851, and his family lived there until 1933. 1987 AXA-Millésimes acquired the estate; the new owners restored the Château and installed ultramodern wine-making equipment. The vineyard is cultivated sustainably and holds the HVE Level 3 certification. Their wines are a classic, elegant expression of Pauillac. |
