Château Picard renews its Cru Bourgeois certification Château Picard, emblematic of the commitment and winemaking expertise of Mähler-Besse, has once again been awarded Cru Bourgeois certification this year. This distinction, synonymous with quality and tradition, rewards meticulous work and an unfailing passion for the vine.     Even before its first classification in 1932, Château Picard embodied the essence of Bordeaux terroir. Nestling in the heart of the Saint-Estèphe appellation, the estate's unique terroir gives this wine its distinctive character. Its clay soil contains precious calcified remains of shells and sea urchins. Ultimately, it is the synergy of these natural elements that best tells the story of Château Picard.     What does Cru Bourgeois mean ? Cru Bourgeois certification
