Chateau Pichon Baron au Baron de Pichon Longueville 2nd Growth Pauillac 2018 750ml

Chateau Pichon-Longueville, commonly known as Pichon-Baron, was founded in 1694 with the matrimonial union of Therese de Rauzan and Jacques de Pichon-Longueville. In 1850, Joseph de Pichon-Longueville died and the estate split in two: Pichon-Baron and Pichon-Lalande. Cht. Pichon-Baron is adjacent to Chateau Pichon-Lalande and Chateau Latour on the southern side of Pauillac. Unlike Pichon-Lalande, Pichon-Baron keeps the focus on Cabernet, with a typical assemblage for the grand vin incorporating at least 80% of the grape. It is a robust and muscular style; older vintages are typically more rustic. Chateau Pichon Baron is a textbook Pauillac expression of power & elegance.
