Château Pichon Longueville Baron 2021

This estate traces its roots to the late 17th century, crafting wines that capture the essence of their storied vineyards. The 2021 expression stands out with its 88% Cabernet Sauvignon and 12% Merlot composition—one of the most Cabernet-dominant blends the property has ever produced.

As it breathes, these dark berry and blackcurrant notes unfold on the nose, setting the stage for a sip that delivers concentrated dark fruit intensity. Medium to full-bodied, the wine wraps around fine-grained tannins, offering a refined elegance that lingers through a long, balanced finish.
