Château Picon 1070 Rouge 2018 Bordeaux Supérieur

ORIGIN Red Wine Bordeaux Château Guillaume Blanc, located a few kilometers from Sainte Foy la Grande, at the edge of Gironde, has been established since the 16th century. The name of the estate refers to the former master of the property, Guilhaume Blanc, who was elected consul of the famous neighboring bastide of Sainte Foy La Grande, a stronghold for trade with England. Château Guillaume Blanc features a charming chartreuse-style building. Its vineyard now spans 65 hectares, fragmented into a myriad of plots. The estate benefits from a complex and unique terroir, where the gravelly sections are planted with Cabernet varieties, and the clay-limestone slopes are planted with Merlot. The viticultural practices are environmentally friendly and certified as Agriculture Raisonnée (Reasoned Agriculture). These characteristics contribute to the production of balanced, ample, and structured wines, available in a variety of cuvées.

ORIGIN Red Wine Bordeaux Supérieur The earliest references to the foundation of the Seigneurie de Picon vineyard date back to 1070. For nine centuries, the estate has rarely changed ownership, reflecting a tradition of preserving its land heritage. Over the years, the vineyard has been gradually replanted, and the winery has been fully renovated and adapted to modern vinification techniques. Château Picon is located in the commune of Eynesse, near the bastide of Sainte-Foy-la-Grande. The majestic 81-hectare estate is perched on a plateau overlooking the Dordogne Valley. It benefits from an exceptional terroir, characterized by a gravelly surface soil and clay-limestone subsoil. The vines, averaging 35 years of age, are predominantly south-facing. They are arranged in a contiguous layout around the château and the winery.
