Château Pichon Longueville Baron (commonly referred to as Pichon Baron) is a winery in the Pauillac appellation of the Bordeaux region of France. Château Pichon Longueville Baron is also the name of the red wine produced by this property. The wine produced here was classified as one of fifteen Deuxièmes Crus (Second Growths) in the original Bordeaux Wine Official Classification of 1855.

History: Château Pichon Baron was once part of a larger estate, owned by Pierre de Rauzan, along with Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande. In 1850 the estate was divided into the two current Pichon estates. In 1987 the estate was purchased by French insurance company AXA, who immediately appointed Jean-Michel Cazes of Château Lynch-Bages as administrator

Back from Andorra we take some time to relax in the beautiful department Aquitaine. Beautiful coastlines, a beautiful landscape with so many fanstastic chateaus ... and the vines, really exquisite. (2 other views in the WS)

Hi, my friend!
It is very interesting old architecture. I like your oryginal composition. Nice colours and good light. I like your towers.
Marek

Hello Achim! Very interesting castle. Nice architecture. Good POV and capture. Original work. Good luck!

Hallo Achim,
welcher unfreundliche Wettergott hat Dir dieses Licht dazu gegeben? Eine Herausforderung und gut gemeistert. Ein schönes Schloss, gut gerahmt zwischen den Bäumen, saubere und klare Details. Unten scheint erst einer wach zu sein :-)
Lieben Gruss, Ulf

Hello Achim,
A fine capture of this imposing wine château. The framing greenery makes a pleasant contrast with the greyish tones of the stonework.

Bonjour Achim
Un bon cadrage pour la prise de vue de ce château.La lumière set douce et l'image est bien nette.
Bonne journée.

Hallo Achim,

Beautiful castle a excellent choice of angle, good perspective and real colours. Also for both WS.
It is very interesting old architecture and good presentation.
I think that the sharpness not for 100% are ok.
very well done, TFS.

Best regards,
John.

Hi Achim,

even before an attractive image, this is an efficient catch of the Château. Very fine details and great exposure. I also like the perspective and the surrounding trees. Very good job!

Well done. TFS.

Hallo Achim,
An excellent setting to show us this magnificent architecture of the castle, with good perspective thanks to the angle that you have used.
The trees to the sides of the frame add a good graphism to the set.
Beautiful work.
Friendly regards,
Josep
PS: Thank you very much for your condolences.

Bonjour Achim,
un peu victime des distortions ce chateau, il aurait mérité une petite correction d'autant qu'il est parfaitement exposé et si net dans la mise au point.
Un cadrage soigné avec des arbres pour fermer les côtés.
Regards.

Hi Mr President
Quite similar to Azay le Rideau castle
Very interesting point of view in spite of the cloudly sky.
Well done.
Cheers.

Hi Achim,
Nice little castle, one of the countless one in this region, it does not look too big but apparently has a nice park around. Hope you didn't stay too long under the hard sun and quickly wento to the cellar ;-)))
Have a nice day JY

Hi Achim,
Although the weather didn't help you, the colors are well contrasted and realistic looking. Sharp details of this nice little castle, with in its cellar some nice wines for sure..Did you try???
Laurent

Bonjour Achim.
Le château est superbe et ta photo le mat bien en valeur. Le premier plan sombre et les branches de l'arbre font un beau cadre à cette architecture. Avec la compression pour TE une partie de la netteté s'en va ; alors il suffit de faire plus net avec un logiciel comme PhotoFiltre avant de poster.
Amicalement.
Jacques

Hi Achim,

The point view showing two sides of the Pichon castle is an asset to the composition. The details and colors of the architecture of the castle are clear and precise. The subject is well frame. The light is enhancing the colors. Have a nice day.

Hallo Achim,
obwohl das Wetter wahrscheinlich nicht gerade von Dir bestellt war, gefällt mir das Ganze so wie es ist. Die dunklen Wolken und das sanfte Licht geben mir besser die Stimmung des Schlosses wieder als eine sommerliche Belichtung mit tiefblauem Himmel.
Viele Grüße

That's a great classical french postcard mood. With a classical architecture too.
But it works... Of course.
