    Product description

    Pichon Baron is considered as being amongst the top of its class and has the reputation to be deeper and more structured than Pichon Lalande.

    Made from 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, Pichon Baron has intense aromas of cassis, blackcurrants, tobacco, leather and roasted coffee. With good tannin and plenty of ripe fruits, it is medium to full body and extremely complex.

     

    Awards

    Unusually this feels even more muscular than the 2000, with dark fruits, fresh acidities and a ton of appellation signature. Powerful tannins that form walls around the fruit even at 20 years old, with nuanced black pepper spice, cocoa bean, woodsmoke, black cherry and blackberry fruit as it opens. 70% new oak. This was the first year with Christian Seely as director, and the selection process for the first wine became more severe, with lower yields and a greater focus on fruit from the historic plot of vines directly opposite Château Latour.
