    Owner and history

    Le domaine de Pichon Baron est racheté en 1987 par AXA Millésimes, dont l'objectif est de permettre à de grands vins, issus de vignobles au passé glorieux, d'exprimer tout leur potentiel. Un projet de construction de nouveaux bâtiments d'exploitation est lancé sur concours, par le Centre Georges Pompidou. La reconstruction complète du cuvier et du chai ainsi que la rénovation du château débuteront en 1988. Depuis lors, le château du XIXème est magnifié par un miroir d'eau qui s'étend à ses pieds. Et sous ses reflets argentés se cache depuis 2008, un chai enterré digne du Nautilus, en raison de ses ouvertures vers l'eau et le ciel. Ce chai à barriques enterré parachève la mise au point d'une production d'excellence, dans la plus pure tradition des grands Pauillac.
