The Château Pichon Baron 1979 is an elegantly aged Second Growth from Pauillac, based on a high proportion of Cabernet Sauvignon from a vintage that produced classically styled, balanced wines. This expression exhibits the tertiary hallmarks of mature Pauillac, with a fragrant bouquet of cedar, tobacco leaf, dried cherry and damp earth. The palate is fully resolved and graceful, showing a medium body, fine-grained tannins and a persistent, savoury freshness that underscores the wine’s classic structure and age-worthiness.
