Chateau Pichon Baron

Case Format: 75cl

Drink To: 2030-2062

Back in 1987, the insurance company AXA decided to enter the wine business and purchased Château Pichon Baron which was in need of investment. AXA saw the outstanding potential of the property and realised that it was an opportunity too good to miss. The Château was restored, machine-harvesting was ended, and over the years the size of the vineyards has been increased. More importantly, quality has improved swiftly, and now once again truly excellent wines are being produced - even in tougher vintages. Under the direction of Christian Seely, quality has never been higher than it is today, partly thanks to ever more rigorous selection in the vineyard.

The 2022 Pichon Baron is one of the most elegant, polished wines I have ever tasted here. Silky and refined, the 2022 is super-impressive right out of the gate. The aromatics alone are mesmerizing. Blood orange, herbs and floral notes lend notable delinea

65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot.Interesting to compare the colours of the two Pichons. Pichon Baron looks less concentrated - or more evolved - than Pichon Lalande. Rich ripe nose. Almost raisiny but just stops short. Open and almost devastatingly fruity on the palate. You'd hardly know this was a tannic vintage on the basis of this wine until the very end. They've really gone out on a limb here. It's almost transparent! And the tannins an afterthought. Very interesting. Fear of tannins at work here? Not gloriously long. I'll be fascinated to see how this turns out. (JR)
