Very likable, with impressive berry flavors and aromas and masses of tannins. Full-bodied and muscular with a long aftertaste. Needs time.--Cabernet Challenge.

One of the fun things about wine is the layers of enjoyment it can provide. The 1985 Pichon Baron is a good but not profound drink, Brettanonyces obscuring some relevant details and slightly underripe but pleasant black fruit mingling with charcoal embers and black olive. But perhaps the most gratifying aspect of drinking this wine is seeing the end of an era at Pichon Baron (or close to the end of an era, anyway). 1985 was the first vintage made by technical director Jean-René Matignon who, joined by Jean-Michel Cazes just a few years later, crafted Pichon Baron in its modern form (evidenced by the wines from 1989 to present). These two men revitalized the estate after a period in the doldrums and the chateau hasn’t put a foot wrong since, their work ably carried on by the next generation.

Adequate and correct, the cedar wood, tobacco, lead pencil and hints of red, smoky fruit on the nose were much better than the austere, strict, bright red fruit on the palate. Fully mature, the wine requires drinking.

Château Château Pichon Longueville Baron
Château Pichon Longueville Baron

Château Pichon Longueville Baron is one of the great names of the Pauillac appellation, classified as a 2nd classified growth in the 1855 classification. A neighbour of Latour, this gravel-soil estate has returned to the heights since its acquisition by AXA Millésimes in 1987: its grand vin, dominated by cabernet sauvignon, seduces with its depth, its aromas of blackcurrant, cedar and tobacco, and its remarkable ageing potential.

From the great successes of the late 1980s, such as the 1989, to the 1982 that has become legendary, through to more recent vintages such as the 2005 wine or the 2012 vintage, the wines of Château Pichon Longueville Baron rank among the most sought-after Pauillacs. The estate complements its grand vin with two second wines, Les Tourelles de Longueville and Les Griffons de Pichon Baron.
