Chateau Pichon Baron 2015
Château Pichon Baron, Second Grand Cru Classé in 1855, is one of the great historic vineyards of
Bordeaux. A rigorous selection policy in the vineyard and in the cellars ensures the production of a
Grand Vin, Château Pichon Baron, which is the pure expression of our unique terroir.
Château Pichon Baron is made with 77% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Merlot and matured in French oak casks for 20 months (80% new).
James Suckling 99 Points – The concentration and largesse of the 2016 Pichon Baron is apparent
from the get-go with incredibly alluring, ripe and expansive fruit aromas in the blackberry, dark-cherry,
mulberry and plum zone. Espresso and cedar, as well as a slate-like, stony mineral edge add
complexity. The palate has incredible depth, drive and detail. Fine and plush tannins stretch the
palate in every direction. So fresh and vivacious, this is the greatest Pichon Baron since 1989 and has
a long future.
