Les Tourelles de Longueville
On Pauillac’s deep gravel rises, with the Gironde estuary moderating the climate, Les Tourelles de Longueville offers a distinctly Merlot-led reading of a great Médoc address. Linked to Château Pichon Baron, the 1855 Deuxième Grand Cru Classé, this cuvée has been associated since the 1980s with the Sainte-Anne parcel, whose fruit gives it an identity of its own within the estate.
That is why it should not be reduced to a mere second wine. It is a deliberately shaped expression of terroir, selection and house style. Gravel, clay and estuarine light provide the framework; careful harvest decisions, measured élevage and classic Bordeaux precision give it form. What emerges is a Pauillac with lineage and restraint, translating the authority of the appellation into a silkier architecture without losing the discipline, depth and unmistakable nobility of its origin.
