The 2006 vintage of Château Pichon Baron is a classic Pauillac. Powerful, poised, and built to age gracefully, this has all the hallmarks of a great Left Bank Cabernet Sauvignon.
Château Pichon Baron, officially known as Château Pichon Longueville Baron, is one of Pauillac’s great Second Growths, classified in 1855. Established in the late 17th century, it sits just across the road from its famous neighbour Pichon Lalande. Under the ownership of AXA Millésimes since 1987 and the meticulous direction of Christian Seely, Pichon Baron has reasserted itself as one of the Médoc’s top estates, producing wines that combine intensity, precision, and remarkable ageing potential.
What the critics say:
"Full ruby-red. Pungent, high-pitched aromas of blackberry, cassis, minerals, bitter chocolate and mocha. Suave, fine-grained and densely packed, with lovely violet lift to its concentrated dark fruit and mineral flavors. Juicy acidity and serious building tannins give this very young wine terrific backbone for aging. Really spreads out to saturate the palate."
"There's an excellent dark color to this, with blowsy, rich aromas of crushed blackberry and currant. Full-bodied, with velvety tannins and a long finish. The center palate will fill in with time. This has lovely balance. Best after 2014."
