James Suckling
A red with blackberry and blueberry aromas and flavors. It’s medium-bodied with richness, density and roundness for the vintage. Together and focused.
Barrel Sample: 91-92

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
