Château Pichon Baron – Pauillac – Red – 2015 – 1500 ml:

 

The Epitome of Pauillac Grand Cru: Château Pichon Baron

Château Pichon Baron, a prestigious Second Growth (Deuxième Grand Cru Classé) from the 1855 Classification, stands as a monument to power and finesse in Bordeaux. The Grand Vin is crafted from a rigorous selection of old vines on the estate’s finest gravel soils, and aged predominantly in new French oak. Known for its ‘masculine’ style, this Pauillac delivers immense structure, deep concentration, and a legendary capacity to age gracefully for decades.

Tasting Notes (Classic Profile)

• Appearance: Deep, dark garnet with an opaque core.
• Nose: Profound and layered, featuring powerful blackcurrant, blackberry, graphite, cigar box, and fresh cedar, with hints of licorice and exotic spice.
• Palate: Full-bodied and opulent, with a seamless texture and a core of intense black fruit. The tannins are firm, yet ultra-fine, providing a majestic structure. The finish is extremely long, fresh, and complex, showcasing Pauillac’s signature elegance and power.

Pairing & Service Recommendations

This is a wine for special occasions and equally grand cuisine. Serve at 60-65°F (16-18°C), preferably decanted for 2-3 hours for younger vintages to allow the full aromatic complexity to emerge.

• Pairing: Beef Wellington, Prime Rib Roast, Venison Loin, Aged Cheddar or Hard Cheeses.
