#CHATEAU PICHON BARON 2015 PLUS#

“Well-built, featuring the pure, fresh core of currant and blackberry fruit that is the vintage’s hallmark, all backed by well-integrated tobacco, cast iron and roasted apple wood notes. Medium-bodied, the palate is elegant, refreshing and refined, with a compelling line of soft, grainy tannins and lots of perfumed accents, finishing fragrant.” (3/2020)

#CHATEAU PICHON BARON 2015 PLUS#

“Composed of 79% Cabernet Sauvignon and 21% Merlot aged for 18 months in French oak barrels, 80% new, the deep garnet-purple colored 2017 Pichon-Longueville Baron slips sensuously out of the glass with provocative cherry preserves, baked raspberries and fresh blackcurrants scents, leading to nuances of red roses, charcoal, tilled soil and cardamom plus a waft of forest floor. Apparently Christian Seely made use of four additional 80-hectolitre wooden vats that augmented his stainless steel vessels. Strong and focused.” (1/2020)ĩ5 Lisa Perrotti-Brown for Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate The 2015 Pichon Baron is a blend of 77 Cabernet Sauvignon and 23 Merlot picked between 18 September until 9 October. The palate is medium-to full-bodied with round, compact tannins and a fresh, linear finish. “The currants, blackberries and spices are very pretty here on the nose. The 30hl/ha yield was not because of frost, but because of their low-yielding 60-year-old Cabernet vines. There is personality here and a sense of Pauillac tannic hold, and it is clearly capable of ageing. There is a whole ton of cassis fruit overlaid with cloves and liquorice root, and it is reassuring to see that in 2017 there are still wines that achieve a sense of concentration and power. This is smokey, spiced and oak-finessed on the nose but with clear concentration and definition. Full-bodied and concentrated, yet elegant and seamless, it has remarkable purity, flawless tannins, beautifully integrated acidity, and a great finish.” (2/2020) “A blend of 78% Cabernet Sauvignon and 22% Merlot aged 18 months in 80% new French oak, the 2017 Chateau Pichon-Longueville Baron sports a vivid purple hue as well as gorgeous notes of creme de cassis and black raspberry fruits interwoven with classic Pauillac lead pencil, crushed rocks, chocolate, and violet notes.

Bordeaux 2020 Vintage - Château Smith Haut Lafitte 2020 - lots of aromatic blackcurrants and black cherries on the nose, powerful on the palate with a strong backbone, big concentration, multilayered and with great length. Expect this wine to age well and drink from 2024.” (3/2020) Izak Litwar, Wine Writer (Denmark) tasted 1 wines from Château Pichon Baron. Its power comes from luscious black fruits that are juicy and powerful. These wine are candidates for extended cellar aging: they usually begin to peak around 15 years old.“This wine is both weighty and stylish. Boasting a deep purple color as well as awesome notes of black raspberries, toasted spices, cassis, lead pencil shavings, tobacco leaf and building. The wines of Château Pichon Baron are full-bodied, rich and spicy with excellent concentration, complexity and elegance. Reminding me of the 1990, the 2015 Château Pichon Baron is a sensational bottle of wine made from 80 Cabernet Sauvignon and 20 Merlot that spent 18 months in 80 new French oak. The grapes are meticulously sorted, fermented in stainless vats and aged in 80% new French oak barrels for 18 months. Only Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot are put into the Grand Vin, most of which come from the 40 hectare vineyards on the plateau of Pauillac over deep, gravel soil. The 73 hectares of vines are planted to 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot. Today, the estate is owned and operated by the AXA Group and run by Christian Seely, who has made Pichon Baron a leading Pauillac estate. In 1855, Château Pichon Baron was ranked as a 2er Cru in the Bordeaux Classification. The estate was spilt up when Baron Joseph de Pichon Longueville divided his estate amongst his five children: the two sons received what would become Pichon Baron, and his three daughters what became Pichon Lalande. Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, the 2015 Pichon-Longueville Baron is enticingly scented of chocolate-covered cherries, crushed red currants and.

Château Pichon Longueville Baron originally was a single estate along with Château Pichon Lalande in Pauillac, Bordeaux.
