Dark, cool Cabernet fruit leads the 2017 Chateau Pichon-Longueville Baron, layering blackcurrant, blackberry and a touch of cherry over hints of spice, graphite and gentle oak smoke, all wrapped in silky but assertive tannins. The style is precise and energetic rather than massive, with a long, focused finish that feels both refined and deeply satisfying.

Château Pichon-Longueville Baron is the grand vin of this historic Pauillac Second Growth, a Cabernet Sauvignon–led red Bordeaux sourced from the estate’s oldest vines on deep gravel soils opposite Château Latour. Known for its powerful yet refined “super second” style, it typically delivers dense black fruit, cassis, cedar and graphite with firm, velvety tannins and remarkable aging capacity that allows top vintages to evolve gracefully for several decades.
