The 2021 Château Pichon Longueville Baron, a 2nd Grand Cru Classé from Pauillac, stands out with its deep ruby-red hue. On the nose, it reveals aromas of blackcurrant, violets, and lemon blossom, complemented by notes of blackberry and spice. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, with firm tannins and concentrated flavors of blackcurrant, ink, tar, and graphite. Its structure is precise, showcasing the classic character of Pichon Baron. The blend consists of 88% Cabernet Sauvignon and 12% Merlot, with the high proportion of Cabernet providing intense dark fruit notes and a firm tannic backbone. The 2021 vintage in Bordeaux was marked by cooler weather and a longer growing season, resulting in wines with refined elegance and moderate alcohol levels.
