The 2015 Ch\u00e2teau Pichon-Baron is a majestic Pauillac Deuxi\u00e8me Grand Cru Class\u00e9, from one of the most prestigious estates in the M\u00e9doc. With a history dating back to the late 17th century, Ch\u00e2teau 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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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, Ch\u00e2teau 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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
