Tasting Note

The 2022 Pichon Baron was a knockout in barrel, though what matters is how it shows in bottle. This has retained the precision that I discerned previously: delineated scents of blackberry, bilberry and sea spray, just a light melted tar note percolating through with time. So Pauillac! The palate is medium-bodied with a core of sapid black fruit, white pepper and a patina of pencil lead. Perhaps this is a little tight after bottling as you would expect, yet there is linearity and grace about this Pauillac that is enthralling. - Neal Martin, Vinous 97/100

About the Winery

Château Pichon-Longueville Baron

Château Pichon-Longueville Baron is a prestigious winery located in the Pauillac appellation of Bordeaux's Left Bank, France. It is classified as a Second Growth (Deuxième Cru) in the 1855 Bordeaux Classification. The estate's origins date back to 1694 when Baron Jacques Pichon de Longueville married Thérèse de Rauzan, uniting two influential winemaking families. The estate was eventually divided in 1850 between his heirs, creating two separate châteaux: Pichon Baron and Pichon Comtesse de Lalande.
