Chateau Pichon Longueville Baron 2eme Cru 2024

95–96

2024 består af 87 procent Cabernet Sauvignon og 13 procent Merlot. Alkoholen er på moderate 12,7 volumenprocent, syreindhold 3,7, pH 3,4. Modnet i 18 måneder på 70 procent nye fade og 30 procent brugte barriques. Over 30 procent tab på grund af meldug i 2024, drypvis og senere eliminering af botrytis. Kun 25 hektoliter udbytte pr. hektar. Medium rubinrød farve med sorte refleksioner. Meget frisk, mineralsk næse. Masser af salt og stenet greb selv her. Visse ligheder med naboen Pichon Comtesse. Højt løb med god tæthed. Et meget stort fokus på Cabernet i år. Meget rene, modne druer, som man kan se i næsen. Men overraskende kraftfuld og struktureret i 2024. Jeg var så heldig at få lov til at smage Comtesse lige inden. Baron er bestemt på mærkerne, men lidt slankere på mellemgulvet. Eftersmagen er dog ret spændende med ribs og en lang salt eftersmag, plus cassis, let lakrids og blomsternoter, men mere til den maskuline side. Ligefrem med en meget god, kompleks struktur. Dette er et meget klassisk udtryk for en Pichon Baron, som det også var tilfældet med Comtesse, selv om vi måske er lidt bagud med charmefaktoren her. Ikke desto mindre en meget vellykket Pichon Baron, som helt sikkert vil have brug for ti år. En elegant, klassisk, maskulin Pichon Baron med karakter og struktur.

Decanter om: Chateau Pichon Longueville Baron 2eme Cru

One of my favourites. Cranberry, bramble fruit, vanilla cream and cool blueberries. Supple and totally charming from the first sip - rich and concentrated fruit no doubt, ripeness is there but this is slick and well framed. Keeps focus all the way through but the tannins are well defined, firm and supportive with cool, freshness and a lovely texture to the fruit. Graceful but definitely with a hint of richness which is just great. Totally elegant. There’s spaidity and unctuosity. So much flavour - this isn't a light wine but it dances across the palate with power and length. This will be finished in an instant. Ageing 70% in new barrels and 30% from barrels of one vintage for 18 months. Château Pichon Baron represents 52% of the production. 3.71pH. Low yields, 20hl/ha.

Suckling om: Chateau Pichon Longueville Baron 2eme Cru

A dense wine with good richness and concentration. Slightly chewy, with an almost full body and a tight-grained finish. Long, structured and powerful. Not a lighter year for Pichon Baron, thanks to the low yield of just around 20 hectoliters per hectare. 87% cabernet sauvignon and 13% merlot.

Galloni om: Chateau Pichon Longueville Baron 2eme Cru

The 2024 Pichon Baron is a very sexy wine. Deep and layered on the palate, with fine depth, the 2024 exudes balance. Sumptuous black cherry, mocha, new leather, licorice, menthol, lavender and pine are all dialed up. There's gorgeous breadth and overall presence here. The Cabernet Sauvignon is quite high at 87%, but it is really the wine's balance that speaks loudest. Here, too, the reduction of new oak to 70% really helps the wine speak with precision.

It's medium-bodied, with a pure, layered, and elegant mouthfeel, notable tannins, and outstanding length. The 2024 is based on 87% Cabernet Sauvignon and 13% Merlot, hitting 12.7% alcohol with a pH of 3.71.
