Château Pichon-Longueville au Baron de Pichon-Longueville 2022

Château Pichon-Longueville Baron, a 2ème Grand Cru Classé from 1855, is one of Pauillac’s most powerful and impressive estates. The vineyards lie on deep, warm gravel ridges over clay and limestone, a terroir that gives Cabernet Sauvignon ideal conditions and provides structure, intensity and pronounced Pauillac typicity. The style is distinctive and profound: concentrated dark fruit, cassis, graphite, tobacco and firm yet precise tannins. Modern cellar technology, strict selection and meticulous parcel work have greatly increased the estate’s precision over recent decades. Pichon Baron today stands for long-lived, powerful yet balanced wines that rank among the Médoc’s most aristocratic and reliable crus.

Bordeaux is one of the world’s most renowned wine regions – a name that has stood for elegance, diversity and ageing potential for centuries. Gravel, clay and limestone soils alternate, allowing fine nuances in the wines that reflect both terroir and craftsmanship.

Bordeaux is typically known for blends in which grape varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc work together harmoniously.

Stylistically, red Bordeaux wines are defined by a balance of fruit, structure and freshness. The white wines – usually made from Sauvignon Blanc, Sémillon and sometimes Muscadelle – range from crisp and citrus-driven to creamy and complex.
