Chateau Pichon Baron Longueville Pauillac 2018

The 2018 Château Pichon Baron, a renowned 2nd Grand Cru Classé from Pauillac, is a powerful and concentrated blend of 78% Cabernet Sauvignon and 22% Merlot. Following an exceptional growing season marked by a warm summer, the wine was aged for 18 months in 80% new oak, resulting in a deep garnet color and a complex aromatic profile featuring blackcurrant, blueberry, cedar, and spicy notes of tobacco and incense. On the palate, it is full-bodied and voluptuous, characterized by dense, silky tannins and a remarkable balance of intensity and freshness that leads to a long, fragrant finish. With immense aging potential of 10 to 30 years, this vintage is celebrated by critics for its classic Pauillac muscularity and refined elegance.
