Château Pichon-Longueville Baron

Pauillac 2021

"The grand vin of Château Pichon Baron is a 2nd Cru Classé, ranked in the Bordeaux Classification of 1855. The fruit for this wine is sourced from the oldest vines grown on those historic blocks of the Pauillac estate. In 1850, the then larger estate was divided into two smaller estates, the other being that of Château Pichon-Longueville Comtesse de Lalande. In 1987, Pichon Baron was purchased by AXA Insurance, adding the estate to their large wine holdings. Pichon Baron’s 73 hectares are planted to around two-thirds cabernet sauvignon and one-third merlot with small-holdings of petit verdot and cabernet franc."
