Château Picoron is a sustainable Bordeaux winery producing expressions of Merlot, which represent the many generations of our winery. Established in 1570, now Australian owned, and family-run.

All our wine is Vinified plot by the plot in very limited production. Each wine represents a single parcel of land, to express the unique personality of our terroir. We don't strive to be 'typical' of Bordeaux, but instead, express the best of our Terroir. 

We are mid-way through our 2020 harvest. This year, Chateau Picoron is producing 3 new expressions of Merlot to express the diversity of Merlot, of Bordeaux, and of our vineyard. We produce a white pressed Merlot, a Merlot Rose, and a carbonic, no sulfite red. All released March 2021.

Our vineyard is 4.5 Hectares, producing only 2300 cases per year. All handmade by our winemaker, Stéphane Apelbaum.

Chateau Picoron, a 5-hectare vineyard located on the clay & limestone ridge, adjacent to Saint-Émilion.

Founded in 1570 by the Picoron family, Château Picoron has a long history of wine. Nowadays, Château Picoron is operated by an Australian family. What we produce is as much a celebration of the history of our winery, as it is in the future. Our winery is a coming together of France & Australia, new & old, past & future.

We produce limited production wines that celebrate our past and inspire the next generation of wine drinkers. We produce only 2000 cases of wine per year, for our friends & family.

Château Picoron does not produce to be compared but to express a wine that is uniquely ours. Our wines are not a blend of acres of vines, but a transparent expression of a specific place. We vinify our wines plot by plot, some producing only a few thousand bottles, and the result is a clear expression of terroir.

Our winemaker, Stephane Apelbaum, believes nature to be our greatest collaborator, preferring a minimal intervention to vineyard management and winemaking. Our wine is produced sustainably, and we are on a journey toward organic farming conversion.

Merlot. Cold fermented & lightly oaked

Smooth, fruity, dry yet beautifully deep in flavor. Ripe red fruit, vanilla & spices, mouthwatering fresh berries, and light tannins. Fresh and powerful.
