About this product
Dry, Full Bodied style of Red BlendBordeaux, FranceChâteau Pichon-Longueville Baron has become simply known as Pichon Baron to distinguish it from its across the road neighbour, Pichon Comtesse, the Château is a must see on the route des Châteaux with its slender turrets and high-pitched roof. After losing its way in the 60s and 70s, Pichon Baron is back to its heralded best with wines that are quintessential Pauillac with ripe and robust tannin and fruit that is brilliantly elegant. No more finer example than the 2009 release which has seen the estate produce its best wine for the past 20 years. Layers of coffee, mocha, blackberry and cedar characters are all present in the most voluptuous Pichon Baron in recent memory.

Revealing incredible quality and performing better than it did from barrel, the 2009 appears to be the greatest Pichon Longueville Baron since the 1990 and 1989. An amazing opaque blue/purple color is followed by scents of spring flowers, graphite, smoky charcoal, incense, blackberries, blueberries and hints of coffee and chocolate. Incredibly intense, pure and flawlessly constructed with extravagant layers of fruit and richness, this offering has developed beautifully under the management of Christian Seeley. It is a voluptuous, opulent Pichon Longueville Baron that may eclipse anything they have made in the past. This brilliant wine should be at its peak between 2018 and 2045.
