Wine Cellar Insider om: Chateau Pichon Longueville Baron 2eme Cru

Just one sniff reveals that this wine is not only stunning, but it also stands apart in a class of its own. Almost opaque in color, the wine\'s aroma bursts with an extravagant mix of tobacco, blackberries, black currants, licorice, lead pencil, cedar, and cocoa. However, it’s that first sip, with its palate-staining levels of fruit, that compels you to pause and taste it again. The exceptional mouthfeel, showcasing its length, intensity, depth of flavor, and expansiveness, along with its refinement and purity, indicates that this is one of the vintage\'s greatest achievements. The first vintage crafted under the guidance of the estate\'s new Technical Director, Pierre Montegut, is undeniably successful. Fans of Pichon Baron will undoubtedly want this gem in their cellar. Drink from 2030-2065.

Suckling om: Chateau Pichon Longueville Baron 2eme Cru

What a nose with complex aromas of blackberries, blackcurrants, graphite and pencil shavings. Full-bodied, this has layers of tannins and intense richness but is framed and held together by the phenolic structure. Vertical and deep, it goes on for minutes on the palate. Great finish. 81% cabernet sauvignon and 19% merlot. Give this five to six years to come together more. Best after 2030 and beyond.

Jeb Dunnuck om: Chateau Pichon Longueville Baron 2eme Cru

The 2022 Château Pichon-Longueville Baron is young and unevolved, with a barrel sample-like feel, offering cassis, graphite, liquid violets, and incredible purity. Powerful and structured, it has remarkable depth, rock-solid concentration, and seamless integrated structure and tannins. Based on 81% Cabernet Sauvignon and 19% Merlot aged 18 months in 70% new oak, this classically styled, inward Pauillac is one of the most promising wines of the vintage and should evolve for 40+ years.

Decanter om: Chateau Pichon Longueville Baron 2eme Cru

Wonderfully aromatic and expressive, with dark fruit, floral scents, chocolate, cinnamon and liquorice. Smooth, svelte, bursting with energy. Juicy strawberries and cherries have crunch from fine tannins and mineral edges. Calm and controlled, yet quietly powerful. Fruit and oak emerge over time, layering chalky, powdery, ripe, spiced and fresh textures. Ends as joyously as it starts, and very moreish.

Parker om: Chateau Pichon Longueville Baron 2eme Cru

Aromas of sweet dark berries and cherries mingled with notions of cigar wrapper, pencil shavings and licorice introduce the 2022 Pichon-Longueville Baron, a full-bodied, layered and multidimensional wine that's deep, dense and lively, with terrific concentration, sweet tannins and a long, penetrating finish. Integrated and serious, this hints at the lavishness inherent to the vintage, while remaining classic and controlled. This blend of 81% Cabernet Sauvignon and 19% Merlot was bottled in June.

Revue du Vin de France om: Chateau Pichon Longueville Baron 2eme Cru

The blend contains 50% Merlot and offers a suitably genereous palate as well as excellent definition and structure. The texture is remarkable around some polished tannins and a nice touch of freshness on the finish. 97-99/100
