Chateau Pichon Longueville Baron 2eme Cru 2023
/100
2023 er sammensat af 80% Cabernet Sauvignon og 20% Merlot. Alkoholindholdet er moderate 13,2 % vol. Modnet i 18 måneder på 70 % nye fade og 30 % brugte barriques. Omkring 44% af produktionen går til den første vin. Tæt, sort næse. Cassis og blomme med masser af sort tryk. En tydelig krydrethed underbygger den tæt sammenvævede frugt. Smag af sort peber, nelliker, enebær, frugtbrød og tydelig lakrids. Kraftig i munden med en mur af modne, men stadig noget uafrundede tanniner. Bagved er der en meget tæt, stenet struktur med jordagtige antydninger. Tørret frugt igen, et hint af mon cheri. En blanding af kølige urtenoter og mokka i eftersmagen. Ganske smuk i sin længde, men viser simpelthen ikke den høje, imponerende finesse og elegance som den modsatte Pichon Comtesse. For mig er Pichon Baron altid den mere rustikke vin, og i år er ingen undtagelse; det er simpelthen ikke en stor vin, men det er bestemt en succes. *** Pichon Barons terroir ligger tæt på Château Latour (Comtesse har sine vinmarker mere i retning af Saint-Julien), og det er her, den maskuline stil kommer fra. Også søstervinmarken til Lynch Bages, samme ejerskab.
Årgangsrapport
Bordeaux 2023 fra en eksperts perspektiv på et modent og tidligt drikkeligt år med elegante, smigrende og silkeagtige tanniner, en høj nydelsesfaktor og et saftigt drikkeflow: Stephane Derenoncourt, ønolog, konsulent på højre og venstre bred, vinmager, en levende legende i Bordeaux: "Tanninerne var modne og af høj kvalitet overalt. Druerne viste fuld teknologisk og fenolisk modenhed. Vinene fra denne årgang er generelt harmoniske og dynamiske." *** Thomas Duclos, førende konsulent og ønolog på højre bred: "Vi opdagede konstant nye ting i 2023-årgangen. Det ville ikke overraske mig, hvis nogle 2023-vine om nogle år viser sig at være bedre end 2022-vinene. Årgang 2023 er meget smigrende: vi har en behagelig blødhed i eftersmagen uden tyngde, elegante teksturer, overraskende silkeagtige..." *** Axel Marchal, førende professor i ønologi ved universitetet i Bordeaux: "På trods af de ekstreme vejrforhold har 2023-årgangen produceret vine med god balance og smukke syrenoter. Vinene er meget behagelige, ikke enormt koncentrerede, men lækre, runde og frugtagtige." *** Michel Rolland, ønolog og vingårdskonsulent og Bordeaux-veteran: "Det aromatiske potentiale var godt, med fremragende aromatisk intensitet og modne frugtsmage. 2023 er en årgang uden overskud og overdådighed. Behagelig, lækker og nem at drikke!

Suckling om: Chateau Pichon Longueville Baron 2eme Cru
A rich and rather flamboyant Baron with plenty of tannic structure and intensity. It's full-bodied and layered with plenty of ripe fruit, but then it tightens at the end, with flavors of black currants, bark, flowers, dark tobacco, graphite and citrus acidity. Lively at the end. 80% cabernet sauvignon and 20% merlot. Best after 2029.
The Wine Palate om: Chateau Pichon Longueville Baron 2eme Cru
The 2023 Pichon Baron is deep garnet-purple in color. It marches out of the glass with confident notes of cassis, black plums, and cedar chest, followed by hints of crushed rocks, tilled soil, and black truffles. The medium-bodied palate reveals a quiet intensity of earth-laced black fruits, framed by firm, grainy tannins and great tension, finishing long and earthy. The blend is 80% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Merlot, with a pH of 3.70. It was aged in oak barriques, 70% new.

Galloni om: Chateau Pichon Longueville Baron 2eme Cru
The 2023 Pichon Baron is a gorgeous, statuesque beauty, just as it was en primeur. Soaring aromatic top notes meld into a core of dark-hued fruit, gravel and new leather. This builds beautifully with time in the glass, showing notable resonance that really explodes on the back end. More than anything else, I am impressed with the precision and vertical energy that have become such an integral part of the wines here in recent years.

Jeb Dunnuck om: Chateau Pichon Longueville Baron 2eme Cru
A blend of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Merlot aged 18 months in 70% new French oak, the 2023 Château Pichon-Longueville Baron is another classic wine from this impeccably run estate, which I suspect is making some of its greatest wines today. Ripe currants, spicy wood, graphite, and tobacco all emerge on the nose, and it’s medium to full-bodied, with a pure, graceful mouthfeel, plenty of tannins, and outstanding length. Reminding me of the 2008, and perhaps even the 2019, it’s a very classy, aristocratic style of Pichon Baron that stands out for its balance and length. Give bottles 4-5 years and enjoy them over the following 25+ years. There are roughly 12,600 cases produced. Drink 2030-2060.

Decanter om: Chateau Pichon Longueville Baron 2eme Cru
Fleshy and ripe, mouthfilling but juicy and alive. I love the soft sweetness of cherry and blackcurrant fruit, but the tannins really fill the mouth giving layers of texture – grippy and chalky, cooling and fresh. Real charm and focus: this wine just makes you smile with its sweet juiciness. On the ample side now so leave it a while, but clearly great potential.

Jeff Leve om: Chateau Pichon Longueville Baron 2eme Cru
Aromatically, this is a tribute to a great Cuban cigar. From there, you find cedar, mint, currants, spice, cherries, and forest floor in the perfume. As good as the nose, the palate steals the show with its combination of lift, length, sweetness, spice, richness, and energy. There is a hint of herbs and a refreshing touch of mint in the finish that adds to its multiple layers of black, with red fruits and peppery Indian spices. This is the quintessential example of a classic, modern Bordeaux. The wine blends 80% Cabernet Sauvignon with 20% Merlot. Drink from 2030-2065.

Parker om: Chateau Pichon Longueville Baron 2eme Cru
The 2023 Pichon-Longueville Baron has turned out impressively, revealing aromas of cassis, pencil shavings, violet, spices and smoldering embers, with new oak all but invisible. Medium- to full-bodied, deep and layered, it is beautifully balanced, built around a fleshy core of fruit and a concentrated mid-palate, framed by powdery tannins and concluding with a long, mineral and resonant finish. It achieves a rare synthesis of classical identity and seductive charm.
