Pichon Baron 比尚男爵
If one is in search of a true fairytale chateau, I would recommend that one travels to the Loire Valley, and start with Chateau d'Usse. And if that doesn't appeal, there are a few others I would suggest, starting with Azay-le-Rideau (right). But Bordeaux also has its own version of the fairytale chateau, and here too there are several contenders. Although Chateau Palmer may warrant a mention, the two chateau that bear the name of the ancient Pichon vineyard would top the list of many Bordeaux savants. Chateau Pichon-Baron (the full title of which is Chateau Longueville au Baron de Pichon-Longueville - I will stick with Pichon-Baron) is perhaps the strongest contender, the witchery of the keen, conical roofs sitting atop their circular towers lending the building an almost magical feel.
