Chateau Pichon 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, while, in 2000, Christian Seely took over from Jean-Michel Cazesas as general manager. Pichon-Longueville-Baron's 73-hectare vineyard (70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, and 5% Cabernet Franc, runs adjacent to that of Château Latour and lies on deep gravel beds.

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. The grand vin is Chateau Longueville au Baron de Pichon-Longueville. The second wine is Les Tourelles de Longueville, introduced with the 1986 vintage. 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.

2014 Ch. Pichon-Longueville-Baron Pauillac

Chateau Pichon Baron, For laying down,

For many years now and since the turn of the 21st century, Ch. Pichon-Longueville Baron has been performing exceptionally well, in both the challenging and more favourable vintages. Their best Merlot plots are located next to Ch. Latour, and although this provides just 20 percent of the blend this year, it contributes a lot to the whole – providing dignified elegance and the cooling freshness we are finding in the top performers of 2014. There is a layered complexity here, fine, grainy tannins and generosity of fruit. A creamy texture fills the finish, enhanced by a prolonged, lingering, spicy undercurrent. It is a very good result.

80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot

2015 Ch. Pichon Longueville Baron Pauillac, Bordeaux

Chateau Pichon Baron, For laying down,

This wine suggests that Ch. Pichon Baron is really making the most of their great terroir. There is layered complexity on offer here and the weight of fruit is superbly controlled and focused.

Layered with terrific creamy notes, this wine lifts, lifts and lifts with each moment it sits on the palate. The generosity of fruit fills the finish and it combines beautifully with the spicy, toasty vanilla. There is some power here, but the structure is so sound, that it is felt but not forceful. The finish is prolonged and effortlessly enjoyable.

2010 Ch. Pichon-Longueville, Baron, Pauillac, Bordeaux

Chateau Pichon Baron, For laying down,

2010 is certainly a great year for the Pichons. Baron has unquestionably been the most consistent in recent years and the 2010 is just a whisker away from the brilliant 2009. The usual pure, ripe, dense fruit expressions are coupled with serious weight, power and structure providing an exceptionally long, intense finish. Whilst it will not compete for wine of the vintage it is impossible to fault. This is a wondrous wine which is good enough for any cellar.

2012 Ch. Pichon-Longueville-Baron Pauillac

Chateau Pichon Baron, For laying down,

Something of a crusty baron this year, perhaps one that is not wintered terribly well and is in need of some sun to warm his limbs. A wine as tannic and reserved as this really needs a few more weeks to show its best and I am sure this will only improve with time. There is fruit enough, and healthy tannins – time will tell but there is every good reason to see this ameliorate into a fine Pichon-Baron.
Tom Cave, Cellar Plan Manager

Ch. Pichon-Longueville-Baron has really made the most of their great terroir in 2012, a theme of their wines for many years now. The best Merlot plots are found next to Ch. Latour and, while Cabernet Sauvignon dominates the blend, Merlot is a key component, providing elegance and freshness. It is a wine which should be welcome in every cellar.

2005 Ch. Pichon-Longueville-Baron, Pauillac

Chateau Pichon Baron, For laying down,

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.

2009 Ch. Pichon-Longueville-Baron Pauillac

Chateau Pichon Baron, For laying down,

The 2009 Pichon-Baron just exudes gorgeous ripe, damson and mulberry fruit which blends seamlessly with the fantastic silky, supple, fine-grained tannins. The wonderful thing about this wine is its sense of coolness, incredible given that the blend comprises 33% Merlot which was often very hot in 2009 (the remainder being 67% Cabernet Sauvignon). Christian Seely attributes this to the wonderful terroir of the best Merlot plots around the château, the ones right next to Ch. Latour. This is elegance personified; a truly great wine.

2011 Ch. Pichon-Longueville-Baron Pauillac

Chateau Pichon Baron, For laying down,

Since 2000, Ch. Pichon-Longueville Baron has been a strong performer in the best vintages, but this 2011 shows that they can also do it in more challenging years. They really are making the most of their great terroir, a weight of controlled and focused fruit on the palate (which few are able to rival), layered with wonderful creamy texture which is lifted and enhanced on a prolonged, powerful and fresh finish. For me, this is amongst the wines of the vintage. Superb.

2008 Ch. Pichon-Longueville-Baron, Pauillac

Chateau Pichon Baron, For laying down,

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. 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.

2010 Les Tourelles de Longueville, Pauillac

Chateau Pichon Baron, Ready, but will keep,

For some time, this second wine of a famous Bordeaux château has been a bit of a wine trade secret. Its big brother, Ch. Pichon-Baron, has produced some of the most iconic wines of Bordeaux over the last 30 years, and Les Tourelles has often given its fans not just a glimpse of the Grand Vin, but something truly fantastic in its own right. The 2010 vintage was one the finest ever at this estate, and Les Tourelles is characterised by its purity of cassis fruit, its gorgeous silky texture, and an opulent full-bodied style which eclipses many a Cru Classé.

2006 Ch. Pichon-Longueville-Baron, Pauillac

Chateau Pichon Baron, For laying down,

A couple of hours in the decanter made the ever masculine Pichon-Baron very approachable; classic blackcurrant, coffee bean, roasted nut, cedar and vanilla combine on a robust and very complex nose. The palate is smooth and fresh, with a very well knit structure, flowing seamlessly into a dark fruit-filled finish, with fine tannins. Huge class and perfect with full flavoured red meats, thanks to its dark, meaty flavours.

When I first tasted Pichon-Baron from barrel, back in 2007, I thought it was undoubtedly a big and well-made wine, yet it had a slightly green edge to it. My caution was unfounded: the edges have now softened and it has evolved as a powerful and concentrated wine with a balanced, rich core of classic Pauillac fruit. This is proving as a very complete, well-rounded 2006.
Fine Wine Team This sexy Pichon-Baron is one of the best wines of 2006. Its stunning château may currently look like a building site (as they build new cellars and chais) but their 2006 has kept every bit of its fairytale charm. This has more than usual in the blend (70%, with 28% Merlot and 2% Cabernet Franc) bestowing the wine with an enormous concentration of seductive cassis fruit and classic yet generous elegance. This is incredibly sleek and velvety with firm tannins and a long, intense finish. Formidable!

2009 Les Tourelles de Longueville, Pauillac

Chateau Pichon Baron, Ready, but will keep,

The second wine of Ch. Pichon-Baron has long been a wine trade insider’s secret, consistently delivering a wonderful dollop of the ripe cassis fruit for which the Grand Vin is famous, for a fraction of the price.

2011 Les Tourelles de Longueville, Pauillac

Chateau Pichon Baron, Ready, but will improve,

This is still the cheapest second wine amongst Pichon Baron’s peers and so buying a case as a cellar filler should be a no-brainer. It is usually best within the first decade of the vintage, hugely versatile, just on its own or with food. A significant percentage of Merlot fills the palate, whilst body, elegance and plump concentration are backed by a silky structure. 2011 is another great offering from this Château which is really on top of its game.

2013 Ch. Pichon-Longueville-Baron Pauillac

Chateau Pichon Baron, Ready, but will improve,

Some darker fruit on show here, that is rare for this vintage. Cassis and blackcurrant jump out of the glass with some spice and mocha from the oak and a lighter touch of cherry and red currant. Sumptuous and sexy. This has tannins, fruit, balance and structure – something not written much this vintage! A core of dark fruit that has substance and flesh, there is complexity on the palate that most wines have lacked. The fine grain tannins, offer direction and a lovely spice to the finish here. This is almost as impressive as Christian Seely’s bow tie. One of the wines of the vintage.

2016 Château Pichon-Longueville-Baron, Pauillac, Bordeaux

Chateau Pichon Baron, For laying down,

Under the directorship of Christian Seely, this property has been a strong performer, especially in good vintages, like 2016. The 2016 sits in the glass with a dark hue. The nose displays black fruit and cassis. It is very concentrated on the palate, with solid viscosity and weight – almost like a crashing wave of dark fruit swirling around one’s mouth. There is a lot to unfurl here. The acidity keeps everything in balance and it finishes with a mouth-coating texture and notes of blackcurrant, mocha and coffee. Very good this year.
