Petit Picoron Castillon Côtes de Bordeaux AOC

This exceptional Bordeaux wine is from carefully selected plots on the continuation of Saint-Émilion’s celebrated limestone ridge, the perfect terroir to grow a beautiful 100% Merlot.
The south facing ridge shielded Château Picoron from the Bordeaux Spring frost which impacted most other wineries, making 2017 a vintage to celebrate.

Only 1400 cases were produced from the rolling clay and limestone hills of Château Picoron.
