Wine Enthusiast
Under the same ownership as Château la Dominique in Saint-Emilion, this estate continues to make impressive wine. With its subtle tannins and ripe berry fruits, it is structured while never letting the tannins overwhelm the fruit. It is an impressive wine to age, so drink from 2021.

Pretty oaky and earthy on the nose: This wine is trying very hard to impress. But it will all be there in 2020. Delicious.

Located at the gateway to the city of Bordeaux, in the southern Médoc,
the estate’s history goes back to the 14th century. At that time, it was a
medieval seigneury that later belonged to the Sun King Louis XIV in person, who used it as a hunting lodge on two occasions.
The present-day chateau, one of the most impressive in the Médoc, was built 1880 by the the Barons Pichon in the pure Renaissance style, like Chambord and Chenonceaux. Clément Fayat acquired the chateau in 1976 and renamed it Clément Pichon in 1985. The 70 hectare estate (175 acres) includes a listed pond, a bird preserve, and 25 hectares (62 acres) of beautiful grounds, as well as a vineyard. Several works of contemporary art are scattered around the grounds.
Viticulture and winemaking are done in conjunction with the famous consultant Michel Rolland. The Fayat family also owns Chateau Fayat in Pomerol and Chateau La Dominique, a Saint-Emilion Grand Cru Classé
