| Over het wijnhuis | Met zijn twee karakteristieke torentjes ziet Château Pichon Baron er precies zo uit als je van een Frans kasteel verwacht. De geschiedenis gaat terug naar de 17e eeuw, maar het kasteel dateert uit 1851. Een jaar eerder werd het landgoed namelijk in tweeën gesplitst: Pichon Baron (ook Pichon de Longueville genoemd) en Pichon Comtesse (ook Pichon-Longueville Comtesse de Lalande genoemd). Baron Raoul Pichon de Longueville was trots op zijn eigendom en liet een imposant kasteel bouwen, hetgeen we nu kennen als Château Pichon Baron. |

| Awards | “The 2018 Pichon-Longueville Baron is a blend of 78% Cabernet Sauvignon and 22% Merlot, aged for 18 months in barriques, 80% new and 20% one year old. Production of the grand vin represents 50% of the harvest this year. Deep garnet-purple colored, the nose bursts from the glass with flamboyant scents of stewed black plums, crème de cassis and Black Forest cake, plus suggestions of Indian spices, unsmoked cigars, pencil shavings and espresso. The medium to full-bodied palate delivers impactful black fruit preserves and exotic spice layers, framed by plush tannins and a lively backbone, finishing long and spicy.” – Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate ”Aromas of blackcurrants, blueberries, ash and cedar with hints of conifer. Full-bodied, yet so tight and refined with polished, toned tannins that are creamy and compact with a silky texture. Energetic and driven. Try after 2026.” – James Suckling ”A very polished and pure expression of Pauillac, but don't go to sleep on it. As charming and vibrant as the cassis, cherry preserve and blackberry paste flavors are, they have a latent saturated feel. And then there's a serious network of iron girders supporting it all, along with sweet tobacco, floral and worn cedar accents. Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Best from 2030 through 2050.” – Wine Spectator ”78% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Merlot. Deep ruby colour. Slightly reductive at this stage but oodles of ripe black fruit underneath, as well as subtle toasted spices. Powerful black fruit on entry, rich and ripe. The muscular, mouth-coating tannins are very ripe and as a result melt into the intense fruit. Incense and coffee bean come through on the finish, the perfect foil to the fruit. A harmonious wine, showcasing vintage ripeness without excess.” – Jancis Robinson ”This great estate in southern Pauillac, facing the Latour vineyard, is at the top of its game. In this release, the tannins are as impressive and dense as the black fruits. Together they form a harmonious ensemble, richly structured, concentrated from the many old vines in the blend, and very ageworthy. Drink from 2027.” – Wine Enthusiast ”Suave and sophisticated, the 2018 Pichon Baron is a real head-turner. Silky, polished tannins wrap around a core of inky dark red/purplish berry fruit. More than anything else, the 2018 impresses for its exceptional balance. All the elements are so impeccably balanced. That will make the 2018 easy to drink relatively early, although my preference would be to leave it in the cellar for the better part of the next decade. Rose petal, spice, blood orange and mint add brightness and perfume on the long, finely-knit finish.” – Vinous ”Grilled cedar and attractive aromatics, with well-handled extraction giving confident but unmistakable oak impact. This is good-quality, showing gentle raspberry leaf aromatics on the opening, savoury cassis and bilberry, with pencil lead and crayon appearing along with the tannins as it stretches out through the palate. There was one week less of maceration than normal, so 21 days instead of 28, which will have helped control extractions. 86IPT. Drinking Window 2028 – 2045.” – Decanter |
