Tasting Note

The 2022 Pichon Baron was a knockout in barrel, though what matters is how it shows in bottle. This has retained the precision that I discerned previously: delineated scents of blackberry, bilberry and sea spray, just a light melted tar note percolating through with time. So Pauillac! The palate is medium-bodied with a core of sapid black fruit, white pepper and a patina of pencil lead. Perhaps this is a little tight after bottling as you would expect, yet there is linearity and grace about this Pauillac that is enthralling. - Neal Martin, Vinous 97/100

Product Notes

Château Pichon-Longueville Baron 2ème Cru Classé Pauillac is a quintessential Bordeaux red, notable for its depth, complexity, and remarkable ageability. An exquisite blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, its placement as a 'Deuxième Cru' in the 1855 Bordeaux classification reflects its exceptional quality. On the palate, it unravels layers of ripe blackcurrant, cedarwood and subtle spice, wrapped in velvet tannins. This wine's elegant structure and profound longevity make it a standout in the illustrious Pauillac appellation. Mastery in viticulture and traditional winemaking inspire its creation, resulting in a wine equally esteemed by critics and connoisseurs.
