Chateau la Pigotte Terre Feu

Château la Pigotte Terre Feu is a Médoc estate producing wine under the Médoc AOC designation — the broadest classification covering the entire left bank peninsula above Bordeaux. The estate produces a single château-bottled Médoc blend from Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and potentially Cabernet Franc in proportions typical of the northern Médoc. At auction, prices average just $27 per bottle across 120 lots, with a range from $2 to $61 — firmly in the entry-level Bordeaux category. This pricing reflects both the modest Médoc AOC classification (below cru bourgeois, cru artisan, and the classified growths) and the estate's limited recognition among serious collectors. For the most part, lots at this price level in the auction database represent either old vintages where scarcity drives modest premiums, or lot sizes of multiple bottles where per-bottle value averaging occurs. The Médoc AOC is geographically vast, and while there are excellent producers in the designation, Château la Pigotte Terre Feu's auction data profile suggests limited collector engagement.
