Winery : The first records of the foundation of Seigneurie de Picon wine domain date back to 1070. The domain has changed families very few times over the past 9 centuries which attests to the strong traditions of its heritage. The vineyards have gradually been replanted over the years and the vat house has been fully renovated and fitted with modern vinification facilities. Château Picon is situated in the commune of Eynesse, near to the Sainte-Foy-la-Grande bastide. This beautiful 81 hectare wine domain lies on a plateau overlooking the Dordogne valley. It benefits from an exceptional terroir composed of gravel soils in the surface and clay-limestone beneath the surface. The vines have an average age of 35 years and are primarily south-facing.
The adjoining vine parcels surround the château and the cellars. Château Picon is Sustainable Agriculture certified. It is committed to a respectful and sustainable approach to the environment in order to ensure optimum quality.
