A fine mature vintage with a still vibrant core of fruit together with the tertiary notes indicative of extensive maturation in bottle, from tobacco and cigar to sous bois complexity. A true piece of vinous history.

This is the second bottle of 1959 Pichon Baron that I have had in recent months; this bottle is likewise ex-château. As I mentioned before, it is an old-school Pauillac, a little green on the nose with mulberry and inkwell scents, becoming more tertiary with time in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with rough-grain tannins, though less VA than previous bottles. It attenuates slightly, so while not a bad 1959, it does not rank amongst the best of this fecund vintage unless you are lucky to find it in magnum.Neal Martin26th January 2023

A Super Second Classed Growth

Château Pichon Baron is celebrated for its Grand Vin, a Pauillac Second Growth which comes from the oldest vines grown on the historic plots of the estate. A beautiful red, displaying a superb black fruit profile with spicy hints. Château Pichon Baron shows great elegance, intensity and exceptional length on the palate. A well-balanced blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.

The Château also produces two second wines, the Cabernet-focused Les Griffons de Pichon Longueville and the Merlot-dominant Les Tourelles de Pichon Longueville. The 73 hectare estate is planted to 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot.
