The team at Pichon Baron decided to focus almost exclusively on the very best site available to this "Super Second", a gravel plateau opposite Château Latour, for their first wine - the rest, and the vast majority, is consigned to two very impressive second wines.Ĭru is one of the world’s leading fine wine retailers. Quality has certainly increased dramatically at this château, largely due to a ruthless reduction in the quantity of Grand Vin produced. The slew of excellent reviews from the world's leading critics for multiple vintages of this estate repeatedly marvel at the remarkable power of the tannins, and the breath-taking concentration always judged to perfection. Baron, conversely, was considered the more overtly powerful and structured of the two. Lalande quickly garnered a reputation of feminine elegance rightly or wrongly, but most likely in its early years as a result of being under female ownership, and has undoubtedly pursued this identity in its wines of recent years. Remarkably for two estates which were once one, their styles are dramatically individual - at least in the modern era.
For many years, Pichon existed as one exceedingly large property, consisting of some 50 hectares of stunning terroir in the legendary commune of Pauillac.ĭeath and marriage, the two great catalysts for change in 19th century France, resulted in the split we see today between this great property, and its sister Pichon Lalande.
Today’s perpetrator delivers so much vinous pleasure and complexity for the money, it makes us very proud to offer this at the best price in the country. The style is ripe, juicy and stacked with mixed berries and cassis, but the vintage’s signature freshness and pixelated tannins show up alongside Pauillac’s rocky minerals.The neo-classical turrets of Château Longueville au Baron de Pichon-Longueville are amongst the most iconic images of Bordelaise grandeur in the entire region. So when it comes to the wines from the hallowed, gravelly vineyards of Pauillac.you know you are in for a treat. On our trip to Bordeaux last month, we tried hundreds of 14s, 15s, 16s and 17s, and it became very clear to us that the hype around 2016 is VERY REAL - it truly is one of the most exciting vintages in Bordeaux since 2010. The consistency across a range of styles and terroirs is something that mother nature rarely allows. There is plenty of ripeness and modern appeal to the wines, but the freshness and the quality of tannins are what elevate 2016 to legendary status. Even the Petit Chateaux delivered precise and exciting wines in 2016.
