Jeb Dunnuck - "The flagship 2019 Château Pichon-Longueville Baron from this brilliant address is based on 87% Cabernet Sauvignon and 13% Merlot that will spend 18 months in 80% new French oak. This is an absolutely beguiling expression that is classic Pauillac and yet it is Pauillac like no other. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is packed with layer upon layer of black fruit, mineral and exotic spices, framed by beautifully ripe, finely-grained tannins and tons of freshness, finishing with a lingering soft-spoken whisper of floral and earth notions. Very deep purple-black in color, the nose skyrockets from the glass with vibrant scents of freshly crushed blackberries, black raspberries and blackcurrant pastilles followed by perfumed sparks of fragrant earth, clove oil, lilacs, crushed rocks, molten chocolate and cinnamon toast. This grand vin represents 49% of the harvest. It is being aged in French oak barrels, 80% new, for 18 months. Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - "The 2019 Pichon-Longueville Baron is a blend of 87% Cabernet Sauvignon and 13% Merlot, harvested from the 18th of September to the 11th of October. He explained his score by saying, “you are not looking at a modern day 1982 or 2016, but something even better and more profound”. Pichon Lalande 2019 was one of only two wines in this year’s campaign to receive a potential perfect score from Vinous’s Neal Martin, (98-100). It is a wine that improves year after year and can age for over 40 years in the cellar. Château Pichon Baron shows great elegance, intensity and exceptional length on the palate. This authentic Pauillac offers an amazing sensory experience with its black fruit flavours and spicy hints. Winemaker Notes: Our Grand Vin Château Pichon Baron 2nd Grand Cru Classé in 1855 comes from the very oldest vines grown on the historic plots of the estate.
