The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine A world-class label and a Second Grand Cru Classé from Pauillac, Château Pichon Baron stands among the elite of Bordeaux. Ideally located in the southern part of the appellation, near the border with Saint-Julien and right next to Château Latour, the estate is known for crafting deeply structured wines with sumptuous, expressive bouquets. From a selection of specific plots, mostly planted with Merlot, comes the estate’s second wine: Les Tourelles de Longueville.
Wine The second wine of the estate, the 2020 Les Tourelles de Longueville Red, is crafted to an exceptional standard. It opens with beautifully ripe red fruit aromas, enhanced by floral notes and a delicate touch of spice. The palate is silky, rounded, and brimming with juicy fruit flavours, offering a wine that is both irresistibly charming and deliciously indulgent.
Vinification Hand harvested from 14 to 30 September. Aged for 12 months in one-year-old barrels (70%) and new barrels (30%).
