Intensity in 2020 Chateau Pichon-Longueville Baron comes dressed in velvet: soaring blackcurrant and blackberry fruit, threaded with dark chocolate, espresso, cool mint and hints of tobacco and warm soil, all carried by deep, richly packed yet supremely fine-grained tannins. The palate feels both broad and laser-focused, with a long, driving finish that makes clear this is a grand, long-distance Pauillac built on purity, tension and remarkable clarity of fruit.

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.
