98 points “This is opulent with fleshy tannins and spiced dark fruit again showing a restrained core of tannins that was so obvious at the Bordeaux 10 Years On tasting in London a few weeks ago. It’s just a brilliant wine one that will age effortlessly from here and is still not quite ready to give up its secrets. It’s concentrated and confident and hard not to fall in love with. The vines for the Grand Vin come from the plateau opposite Latour and were the heart of the original Pichon estate.” – Decanter
98 points “Revealing incredible quality and performing better than it did from barrel the 2009 appears to be the greatest Pichon Longueville Baron since the 1990 and 1989. An amazing opaque blue/purple colour is followed by scents of spring flowers graphite smoky charcoal incense blackberries blueberries and hints of coffee and chocolate. Incredibly intense pure and flawlessly constructed with extravagant layers of fruit and richness this offering has developed beautifully under the management of Christian Seeley. It is a voluptuous opulent Pichon Longueville Baron that may eclipse anything they have made in the past.” – Robert Parker
Château Pichon Baron is a Super Second that regularly competes with the First Growths not surprising considering that its neighbour is Château Latour. It offers outstanding value for such top draw Bordeaux and this is no exception as those rave reviews demonstrate. Hailing from one of the greatest Pauillac vintages ever this is not to be missed.
