Château Pichon Longueville Baron — Winery in Pauillac

The château, with its two characteristic pointed towers and Renaissance architecture, is one of the eye-catchers of the Route des Châteaux in the Haut-Médoc. At its foot a pond stretches out like a mirror; beneath it, invisible to passers-by, lie the spectacular modern cellars built in 1997. All tours begin in the vineyard, the beating heart of the estate. After a visit to the vinification facilities and cellars, visitors get to know Pichon Baron through a tasting of three wines. All visits are private and by appointment only. A special option is a vertical tasting of the Grand Vin: a tasting of exceptional vintages, guided by a member of the estate's staff. The château is open all year round by appointment. The visitor centre and wine shop are open Monday to Friday for walk-in visitors, and also on Saturdays from May to November. From January to early April and in November and December: open Monday to Friday from 9.00-12.30 and 14.00-17.30.
