Les Tourelles de Longueville

The 2nd wine of a 2nd Classified Growth of Pauillac, Chateau Pichon Baron

Les Tourelles de Longueville is one of the second wines of the property. Named after the turrets that embellish the chateau, it embodies the charm of the estate.

History

The estate was founded in the late 17th Century. In 1689 Pierre Desmezures de Rauzan, an influential wine merchant and steward of the prestigious Latour and Margaux estates, bought plots of vines close to the Latour estate to create Enclos Rauzan.

These vines were part of his daughter Therese's dowry when she married Baron Jacques Pichon de Longueville in 1694, the year in which the Pichon Baron estate was founded. An illustrious estate, with an enduring reputation, was born. It remained in the same family for generations.

In 1850 the property was divided in two. Baron Raoul Pichon de Longueville's section became the Pichon Baron estate. The second section, belonging to his three sisters, became Pichon Comtesse.

.In 1933 the Pichon de Longueville family sold the property to the Bouteiller family, who managed Chateau Pichon Baron for over 50 years.

In 1987 the estate was bought by AXA Millésimes, whose aim is to enable great wines from vineyards with a glorious past to achieve their full potential.

Terroir & Vinification

Plot-by-plot selection is fully controlled in our wooden and stainless-steel vats, designed to adapt vinification to each parcel.

We have placed even more emphasis on the quality of the fruit by extending the cold pre-fermentation period before starting fermentation with our vintage wild yeast from grapes grown in the old Cabernet-Sauvignon plots of the Plateau.

Malolactic fermentation continued apace in vats, allowing regular racking in separate batches. The wine was transferred to barrels in mid-November.

Tasting

Les Tourelles de Longueville is an invitation to enter a world of flavour, charm, roundness and sensual delight.This wine provides an introduction to the spirit of Pichon Baron and can be enjoyed young or aged in the cellar for 15 years or more.
