Chateau Picoron’s estate began more than 2,000 years ago and since 2015, Glenda and Frank Kalyk and their Australian family are pursuing this legacy, celebrating the history of the winery and the future of the Bordeaux region.
Their wines are not a blend of acres of vines, but a transparent and honest expression of a specific place – the famous St Emilion claylimestone ridge. The result is the true expression of their terroir. They celebrate the past and future of Merlot, the first grape variety planted in Bordeaux; Their wine is produced sustainably using organic practices, without animal products and with minimal intervention.
At Château Picoron they don’t replicate, they innovate. They don’t seek to be compared, but choose to express wines which are uniquely theirs to share with friends & family. Their wines are all unique expressions of Merlot, inspired by traditional French wine techniques. Harnessing the constraints upon us, they find the freedom to invent, and showcase the potential of the Merlot berry!
