About this product

The history of Chateau Pichon-Longueville Baron is a tale of two estates. The Chateau and vineyard known as Pichon Baron was given in dowry to the founder’s daughter when she married Jacques du Pichon Longueville. After the death of their descendent, the Baron Joseph de Pichon Longueville, in 1850 the estate was again divided - on his deathbed, he gave what became Château Pichon Baron to the men of his family, and what became Chateau Pichon-Lalande to the women - resulting in, some say, more masculine and sensuous styles of wine respectively! Between the 1960’s and the 1980’s, the estate went through a period of rather lacklustre production - however, since 1990, they have been producing, according to many, some of the best wines in their history. The 2016 has earned high praise and glowing comparisons to their legendary 1990 Pichon Baron.
