STORY BEHIND THE WINE

Being a member of the original 1855 Bordeaux Classification comes with the heavy weight of history and prestige not to mention price-tags out of reach of many wine lovers. Pichon Baron response to this has been to create 2nd wines that retains all their expertise and know-how. This gives the advantage of them being more approachable in both their youth and your pocket.
