Château Pichon Longueville Baron Pauillac 2cc. 2020 0,75l

The wine displays intense aromas of cassis, blackberry and dark cherry, framed by cedar, tobacco, spice and a touch of cigar box.

Bright acidity and mineral lift underpin its outstanding cellaring potential and make it a majestic partner for grand meat and game dishes.

In 1850 the original family estate was divided, and the 1855 Classification confirmed Pichon Baron as a Deuxième Grand Cru Classé—an address that has carried weight ever since....
