In a blend dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon (79%) and complemented by Merlot (21%), Chateau Pichon Baron 2017 is a very successful and dazzling Pauillac indeed.
Elegant and expressive, the bouquet seduces with fresh black fruit notes, which evolving after swirling the glass into spices, smoky notes of tobacco and the scent of dried flowers.

A magnificent, sensual and powerful Pauillac that will live on for decades and develop even greater panache over its time spent in bottle.
J. Suckling : 95 / 100
Composed of 79% Cabernet Sauvignon and 21% Merlot aged for 18 months in French oak barrels, 80% new, the deep garnet-purple colored 2017 Pichon-Longueville Baron slips sensuously out of the glass with provocative cherry preserves, baked raspberries and fresh blackcurrants scents, leading to nuances of red roses, charcoal, tilled soil and cardamom plus a waft of forest floor. Medium-bodied, the palate is elegant, refreshing and refined, with a compelling line of soft, grainy tannins and lots of perfumed accents, finishing fragrant.
