| 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 brilliant 2020 Pichon-Longueville Baron offers up inviting aromas of sweet berries and cassis mingled with pipe tobacco, loamy soil, pencil shavings and licorice. Medium to full-bodied, deep and layered, its velvety attack segues into a concentrated mid-palate that's framed by rich, powdery tannins, concluding with a long, vibrant finish. A blend of 76% Cabernet Sauvignon and 24% Merlot, it's a true classic that's a touch less demonstrative out of the gates than the sensual 2019, but which in the fullness of time will prove every bit as good." - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate "Fabulous aromas of blackcurrant, blueberry, crushed stone, graphite and lead pencil. Some violets and other flowers, too. Full-bodied with incredibly encompassing tannins that are like the finest velvet in texture. The structure is superb, with so much tension and focus. Seamless. This could be the new 1990 or better. Try after 2028." - James Suckling "76% Cabernet Sauvignon, 24% Merlot. Aged 18 months in oak barrels (70% new). Similar lines to 2019 but a bit more voluptuous. Deep colour. Suave and creamy on the nose with blackcurrant notes to the fore. Generous fruit on the palate but freshness and length as well. Firm tannins but wrapped in fruit so no aggression. Smooth and persistent." - Jancis Robinson "The 2020 Pichon Baron is every bit as magnificent as it was en primeur. A wine of vertical intensity and explosive power, the 2020 offers up an exotic mix of dark red/black fruit, espresso, licorice, menthol, gravel and dried herbs. This potent, driving Pauillac needs time to come together. It marries the fruit intensity of a warm year with the driving energy of a cool year. The 2020 is a gorgeous Pichon Baron." - Vinous "This has a very large-scaled yet properly proportioned core of cassis, plum and blackberry fruit flavors that are remarkably pure and focused. Buried deep within is a sleek, vibrant iron spine that drives the finish as the fruit keeps pace. Extra savory, tobacco and cedar nuances fill out all the remaining available space. A towering wine, with a buttoned-up feel. Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Best from 2030 through 2045." - Wine Spectator "Made with a high percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon, this wine offers dark tannins that give density and massive black fruits. With a magnificent combination of dark fruits and rich structure, it is set for long-term aging. Drink from 2028." - Wine Enthusiast "Gentle and delicately aromatic but rich too, full of coffee, mocha, dark chocolate, caramel and medicinal herbs - mint and aniseed with a combination of red, blue and black berry fruits. Lovely density and weight on the palate, really very tannic but wide with an aerated effect so it doesn't feel at all heavy with a bright juiciness and extremely long length. The tannins make the first impression with a velvet texture and chalky minerality but it’s clean and the fruit has a crystalline purity that gives a sleek and direct overall impression. Generous, elegant and refined yet still not showing its best." - Decanter |
