History
Pierre Desmezures de Rauzan founded the Pauillac estate in 1689. It became Pichon-Longueville when his daughter married Baron Jacques Pichon de Longueville. In 1850 the property was divided; the Baron branch commissioned the turreted château in 1851. The 1855 classification listed it a Second Grand Cru Classé, a rank the vineyard still holds.
AXA Millésimes bought Pichon Baron in 1987 and rebuilt cellars while keeping the Second Growth name. L'Orangerie du Château is the estate's small hotel in the orangerie, rooms among the Pauillac vines rather than a separate inn down the road.
The stay is a classified Médoc château that opened an orangerie to guests, not a wine theme park.
