Wine Spectator September - 1996

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 Pichon Longueville Baron

Château Pichon Longueville Baron is a Bordeaux wine estate and classified as a Second Growth (Deuxième Cru) in 1855. The Pichon Longueville Baron vineyard (as it is called to distinguish it from its neighbor Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande) is largely adjacent to that of Latour, on one of the finest terroirs in Pauillac. It was in the 17th century that Jacques de Pichon, Baron of Longueville, began establishing the Pichon-Longueville vineyard. The wine's reputation was established within a few years. The current château was built in 1851 by Raoul de Pichon-Longueville. Château Pichon-Longueville comes from vines in the estate's historical terroir. This results in full-bodied wines, rich in tannins, characterized by their finesse and elegance. Their length on the palate is exceptional and they have significant aging potential.
