The 1998 Pichon-Baron has a straightforward bouquet of blackberry and graphite aromas mixed with leather and a touch of tomato vine. It just feels a little conservative compared to others. The palate is medium-bodied and quite foursquare, featuring blackberry, raspberry and a touch of iodine; I find a little greenness coming through toward the finish that detracts from its class. This could be better, but the 1998 plays it too safe. Tasted at the Pichon-Baron vertical at the château. Neal Martin1st January 2019

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.
