Château Pichon Baron

The 2015 Château Pichon-Baron is a majestic Pauillac Deuxième Grand Cru Classé, from one of the most prestigious estates in the Médoc. With a history dating back to the late 17th century, Château Pichon-Baron is celebrated for its deep-rooted tradition and uncompromising commitment to quality. The vineyards are situated on exceptional gravel plateaus that ensure perfect drainage and optimal ripening of the grapes.

The blend of the 2015 vintage consists of 77% Cabernet Sauvignon and 23% Merlot, resulting in a wine with both power and refinement. The Cabernet Sauvignon delivers structure, depth and intense aromatic complexity, while the Merlot provides roundness and softness.

In the glass, the wine shows a deep, almost opaque purple colour. The bouquet is rich and expressive, with aromas of blackcurrant, cassis, graphite and a hint of violets. Subtle notes of cedar, tobacco and dark chocolate add layering. On the palette, Château Pichon-Baron 2015 offers impressive concentration with silky tannins, lively acidity and wonderful balance. The long, refined finish is characterised by mineral accents and elegant spicy nuances.

The wine has matured for 18 months in French oak barrels, 80% of which are new. This ageing adds a refined structure and subtle wood tones, without overpowering the fruit expression.

Château Pichon-Baron 2015 has exceptional storage potential of 20 to 30 years
