ABOUT THIS WINE

This wine provides an introduction to the spirit of Pichon Baron and can be enjoyed young or aged in the cellar for 15 years or more.

ABOUT THIS PRODUCER

Château Pichon de Longueville Baron is home to terroir that is considered a “winegrower’s paradise.”  Over the years, the vignerons at the estate have learned to nurture their precious vines, yielding highly concentrated and ripe fruit.  Production has been cut in half throughout the decades and the winemaking team at Château Pichon de Longueville Baron has no qualms sacrificing quantity to ensure the quality of their wine.  Perhaps it is the close proximity to the terroir of the First Growth powerhouse, Château Latour, that lends these wines the perfect balance of strength and refinement that is so often associated with the gems of Pauillac.  Some of the best vintages are massively extracted, flamboyant wines -- with aromas of cassis, tobacco, and cedar.  Current style is less emphasis on extraction, allowing the fruit to shine through, while presenting nature's true stories of the terroir.  Due to their incredible fortitude, these wines have the ageing potential to last for decades.
