Chateau Clément- Pichon

Dive into history and enjoy a wine tasting tour around the scenic views of the 14^th century Château, situated just outside Bordeaux in the south of the Médoc region, at the heart of a 25- hectare vineyard.

History recounts that King Louis XIV came twice to hunt on its land, in 1659 and in 1660. This magnificent building is one of the biggest châteaux in the Médoc.

The estate was acquired by Clément Fayat in 1976. He completely replanted the 25 hectares of vineyard, giving back the Château its prestige.

La Motte de Clément-Pichon

Seducing, with an expressive nose of ripe fruit, it is a round wine with light and pleasant tannins which should be enjoyed during its young years.

Situated just outside Bordeaux, in the south of Médoc region, Château Clément-Pichon is an original estate which still carries the prints of its medieval past.

The vines are grown in the traditional way and following rules of sustainable agriculture.

In the cellar, which dates back to the XIXth century, the ageing in barrels lasts 12 months, with one-third renewal every year. The barrels are all made up from French oak, selected carefully in order to preserve the natural balance of the fruit.

From the harvesting to the bottling, the production of Château Clément-Pichon respects strict specifications and is given particular attention, enabling it to wear, every vintage, the title “Cru Bourgeois”, acknowledging the constant quality of the Cru.
