Château Pichon Baron`s Grand Vin is a 2nd Cru Classé and comes from the oldest vines grown on the historic plots of the Pauillac estate which was founded in the late 17th century. A rare find from the 1955 vintage, which was described by Robert Parker as follows, "This is one of the finest old vintages of Pichon-Longueville I have tasted. The wine is fine and dense."

Vinous
The 1955 Pichon-Baron almost repeats its performance from the château two years earlier. Perhaps here, one finds more red fruit than black, old red brick and cedar scents unfolding with aeration. It’s a little rustic in style yet harmonious. The palate is well balanced with fine weight and slightly coarse tannins toward the finish. It coheres wonderfully in the glass with a bright finish that belies its age. This is wonderful. Tasted at the Complete Bordeaux Tasting dinner at Hedonism.
