Château Pichon-Longueville Baron


Château Pichon-Longueville Baron, a leading Pauillac 2éme Cru Classé estate, is one of Bordeaux's most illustrious ";super seconds";. In 1987 it was bought by the AXA Millésimes Group, who also own Cantenac-Brown, Petit-Village, Suduiraut.

AXA built a state of the art cuverie and chai at Pichon-Longueville Baron and has recently installed Christian Seely as general manager. Pichon-Longueville-Baron's 50-hectare vineyard (Cabernet Sauvignon 75%, Merlot 25%) runs adjacent to that of Château Latour and lies on deep gravel beds. Pichon-Longueville Baron's wine is a blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, and 5% Cabernet Franc.

The Cabernet-dominated Pichon-Longueville Baron is a more muscular, tannic and full-bodied wine than that of its neighbour across the road, Pichon-Longueville Comtesse de Lalande. Recently winemaker Jean-Réné Matignon has astonished even Pichon's most enthusiastic fans with the quality of this wine (and indeed at his other estate Ch. Pibran too). The best examples of Pichon-Longueville Baron have layer upon layer of unctuous, vanilla-scented, blackcurrant and cassis fruit, intermingled with cigar box and lead pencil shavings aromas. They require cellaring for at least 10 years.

Medium Bodied, Dry, Red, Cab.Sauvignon Blend, Ready, but will keep, 13% alc.

From a good Bordeaux vintage sandwiched between the more expensive, more vaunted 2003 and 2005, this youthful Pauillac, a Merlot, Cab. Sauvignon & Franc chip off the Pichon Longueville Baron block, has the pedigree of its sibling at a relatively affordable price. Sweet with smokey vanilla, cedary aromatic overtones, a core of cassis fruit richness is underscored by an already highly drinkable palate of juicy acidity and supple tannins.

Les Tourelles de Longueville (the second wine of Ch. Pichon-Baron) has always been, and always will be, a firm BB&R favourite. Why? Simple - this is the epitomy of good Claret at a sensible price. It has pedigree and gravitas but it also has charm and its own identity. There is no better vintage to experience our favourite than the legendary 2005 vintage in which Les Tourelles de Longueville boasts a complexity above its status. Black cherries and mocha hints are abundant, all supported by a structure that will facilitate impressive ageing. MORE

With an intense, complex nose and dense bramble and spice notes on the palate, the 71% Cabernet, 29% Merlot blend is concentrated with dark fruit gravitas and a long, mineral finish. The richness of the fruit is very evident here and brings to mind the 2001 but the crisp acidity is a reflection of the unique character of 2008. Pichon-Baron may be classed as a 2ème Cru Classé but in 2008 they have produced a wine of First Growth quality.

Pichon-Baron's beaming winemaker Jean-Réné Matignon has once again made a sleek, sexy and hedonistic wine in 2005. With an intoxicating perfumed nose and a powerful, velvety palate of black cherries this ripe, polished, minerally wine is pure Pauillac. The 64% Cabernet Sauvignon is unsurprisingly to the fore, with the small berries bestowing great concentration and beautiful pure fruit on this wine. This is another fine performance set to confirm Pichon-Baron's position at the top of Bordeaux's echelon. MORE
