Château Pichon-Longueville Baron 2009

Château Pichon Baron, a leading Pauillac Second Grand Cru Classé estate, is one of Bordeaux's most illustrious "super seconds” and one of the great historic vineyards of Bordeaux. Originally a farm house called "La Baderne", Château Pichon Baron was brought into wine production in the 17th century by Jacques de Pichon, Baron of Longueville, and quickly gained an excellent reputation. The château today, known for its witch-hat turrets and traditional fairytale castle appearance, was built by Raoul de Pichon-Longueville in 1851. The wine was awarded Second Growth quality in the 1855 Classification. Pichon Baron is a masculine, structured, reserved wine, sourced from the very oldest vines grown on the historic plots of the estate. Château Pichon Baron shows great elegance, intensity and exceptional length on the palate. It is a wine that improves year after year and can age for over 40 years in the cellar.
