Tasting Notes
Château Pichon-Longueville Baron 2024 is a commanding expression of Pauillac, rooted in history and sculpted by its exceptional terroir. Established in the late 17th century and classified as a Second Growth in 1855, the estate has consistently championed Cabernet Sauvignon as its signature grape. The gravelly soils, low in nutrients and perfectly draining, bring precision and power to the wine’s profile. In 2024, the wine reveals a compelling balance of intensity and refinement, with dark fruit, spice, and a long, structured finish that echoes the estate’s uncompromising pursuit of quality. With the potential to age gracefully for over 40 years, this vintage is a bold yet elegant tribute to the heritage and future of Pichon Baron.

98 / 100"The elegance displayed by the Cabernet has the merit of recalling the incredible abilities of this grape variety. It doesn't really need to free itself from the Merlot that contributes to its beauty, but it simply wants to point out that complementarity can only be achieved if the foundations are good. The subtle nuances of cedar and graphite are a reminder of the place (and the reduction), while the notes of red berries, cherries and spices are a sign of freshness. The attack only abounds in the sense of the olfactory preambles. Charm and power signal their complicity from the outset. They open the way to a sapid, suave, invigorating and lively wine, an element that it owes to the incisive character of its structure worthy of a Jedi's lightsaber! The definition and depth become almost incidental, but we are still happy that they are there! An inviting, enveloping, comforting, serene, caressing, enchanting wine! It leaves the sphere of vintage to dedicate itself to sapidity and hedonism. What a magnificent achievement. 2029-2054 - Yves Beck"

"The Baron’s honor and grandeur have never relied too heavily on the favor of the sun, nor are they easily shaken by the fluctuations of any given vintage. In the 2024 vintage, when the fruit aromas are not particularly intense, In the fruit-reticent 2024 season, it did not rush to bloom, but held itself in quiet reserve, cultivating its strength in stillness. Its structure coils firm like a vine, while the tannins are as fine as powder, spreading across the palate like a hidden dragon sweeping across the tongue, leaving no trace of the rainy, cool vintage. With Cabernet Sauvignon making up 87% of the blend, the blackberries and blueberries are perfectly ripe – slightly compact, yet never overly charming. Paired with the classic Pauillac notes of licorice and graphite, the Baron’s inherent noble, blue-blooded quality is depicted with calm certainty and noble restraint. - Alexandre Ma"
