Beskrivelse
Château Pichon Baron er et af de mest prestigefyldte slotte i Pauillac i Bordeaux og klassificeret som Deuxième Grand Cru Classé i den berømte 1855-klassifikation. Slottet ligger i hjertet af Médoc mellem ikoniske naboer som Château Latour og Château Pichon-Comtesse og er kendt for at producere kraftfulde, elegante vine med stor lagringskapacitet.
Pichon Baron er ofte blandt de såkaldte “Super Seconds” – slotte der i store årgange kan konkurrere med 1. Cru-niveauet. Vinen kombinerer kraft, kompleksitet og finesse og kan udvikle sig smukt i kælderen i flere årtier.

Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, the 2015 Pichon-Longueville Baron is enticingly scented of chocolate-covered cherries, crushed red currants and mulberries with touches of baking spices, potpourri and bay leaves plus a hint of fallen leaves. Sumptuously elegant, refreshing and medium-bodied with gorgeous, expressive, perfumed red fruits and very fine, very firm tannins, it has a persistent, perfumed finish. Its remarkable intensity, freshness and very firm frame suggest a long-lived Pichon Baron, which should cellar gracefully for 30+ years.
