Pichon Baron’s 2014 is a Second Growth Pauillac wine offering a complex array of aromas beginning with hints of graphite and spiced cedar, indicative of its distinguished terroir. Beneath lie layers of blackcurrant and plum, intermingled with earthy tobacco and subtle chocolate notes. The wine showcases a robust structure, with firm tannins that suggest a long maturation potential. This blend reflects the estate`s commitment to quality, overseen by the esteemed technical director Jean-René Matignon.
96 The Wine Independent
Medium to deep garnet-brick in color, the 2014 Pichon Baron offers up serious, straight-laced notes of blackcurrant cordial, cedar chest, and tobacco leaf leading to hints of cardamom, pencil lead, and truffle. The medium-bodied palate is gracefully styled, with lovely tension and ripe, fine-grained tannins, finishing long and minerally.Lisa Perrotti-Brown5th March 2024

Stunning, this is just beginning to deliver the most deliciously taut and balanced Pauillac character, with crayon and bilberry, black truffle and black pepper, muscular and concentrated mint leaf and cigar box on the finish. Very impressive, at the beginning of its drinking window. 80% new oak.Jane Anson8th February 2024
92 Vinous
The 2014 Pichon Baron has a lovely bouquet with blackberry, pencil shavings and touches of warm gravel, very well defined and focused, classic in style. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins, fresh and vibrant, with a dash of white pepper and allspice leading to that slightly flinty finish. Maybe it becomes a little creamier than expected, but it's still just a lovely Pauillac drinking perfectly now and will continue to age for many years. N.B. The bottle poured blind at the Southwold tasting exhibited a metallic element on the finish, and I marked it down. Tasted at Bordeaux Index's 10-Year On tasting. Neal Martin19th March 2024
