Château Clément-Pichon

Located just outside Bordeaux in the town of Parempuyre, Château Clément-Pichon has regained its former glory. The estate’s history dates back to the 16th century, when it was headed by the Pichon family, several members of which played a major role in the history of the city of Bordeaux.

In 1976, Clément Fayat acquired this Haut-Médoc wine estate and completely restructured the vineyard by replanting all the plots and modernizing the facilities. With a grape variety mix that was unusual for the Médoc—more than 70% Merlot—the wine developed a rich, indulgent style. Since 2012, his son Jean-Claude Fayat has officially managed the family’s various estates, including Château La Dominique, a Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Classé, and Château Fayat in Pomerol. He has been joined by one of the Bordeaux region’s most renowned winemakers, Michel Rolland.
