Vintage: 2020

$266.99

Chateau Pichon Baron is a prestigious winery located in the Pauillac appellation of Bordeaux, France. Known for producing exceptional wines, the growing season is a testament to their commitment to quality. This wine is primarily composed of Cabernet Sauvignon, with a smaller proportion of Merlot, reflecting the classic Bordeaux blend. The grapes are meticulously harvested and undergo fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, followed by aging in French oak barrels, which imparts subtle vanilla and spice notes. The wine exhibits a deep ruby color and offers a complex bouquet of blackcurrant, plum, and cedar, with a well-structured palate featuring firm tannins and a long, elegant finish. It pairs beautifully with roasted meats, game, and aged cheeses.

The brilliant 2020 Pichon-Longueville Baron offers up inviting aromas of sweet berries and cassis mingled with pipe tobacco, loamy soil, pencil shavings and licorice. Medium to full-bodied, deep and layered, its velvety attack segues into a concentrated mid-palate that's framed by rich, powdery tannins, concluding with a long, vibrant finish. A blend of 76% Cabernet Sauvignon and 24% Merlot, it's a true classic that's a touch less demonstrative out of the gates than the sensual 2019, but which in the fullness of time will prove every bit as good.
