รายละเอียดสินค้า
Château Pichon Baron is one of the most iconic Pauillac estates, its turrets standing sentinel over gravel ridges that produce some of Bordeaux’s boldest Cabernet Sauvignon. Formerly united with Pichon Comtesse, the estate has charted its own course since the 19th century.
The 2018 vintage emerged from a growing season that began wet but ended with a long, dry, and warm harvest—ideal for slow ripening and tannin development. The Grand Vin was drawn from the oldest vines on the estate, vinified with precision and aged in 80% new French oak.
This wine reflects Pichon Baron’s philosophy: to honor its storied terroir with intensity, finesse, and longevity, a true embodiment of Pauillac's strength tempered by elegance.
wine score
100 points Wine Enthusiast
This great estate in southern Pauillac, facing the Latour vineyard, is at the top of its game. In this release, the tannins are as impressive and dense as the black fruits. Together they form a harmonious ensemble, richly structured, concentrated from the many old vines in the blend, and very ageworthy. Drink from 2027. Cellar Selection
96 points Wine Advocate
The 2018 Pichon-Longueville Baron is a blend of 78% Cabernet Sauvignon and 22% Merlot, aged for 18 months in barriques, 80% new and 20% one year old. Production of the grand vin represents 50% of the harvest this year. Deep garnet-purple colored, the nose bursts from the glass with flamboyant scents of stewed black plums, crème de cassis and Black Forest cake, plus suggestions of Indian spices, unsmoked cigars, pencil shavings and espresso. The medium to full-bodied palate delivers impactful black fruit preserves and exotic spice layers, framed by plush tannin's and a lively backbone, finishing long and spicy.
97 points Wine Spectator
A very polished and pure expression of Pauillac, but don't go to sleep on it. As charming and vibrant as the cassis, cherry preserve and blackberry paste flavors are, they have a latent saturated feel. And then there's a serious network of iron girders supporting it all, along with sweet tobacco, floral and worn cedar accents. Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Best from 2030 through 2050.
97 points James Suckling
Aromas of blackcurrants, blueberries, ash and cedar with hints of conifer. Full-bodied, yet so tight and refined with polished, toned tannins that are creamy and compact with a silky texture. Energetic and driven. Try after 2026.Profile

Chateau Pichon-Longueville Baron Winery
Pichon-Longueville is located on beautifully gravelly soil in the southern part of the commune of Pauillac. In 1694, Jacques de Pichon, Baron de Longueville, married the daughter of Pierre de Rauzan, who originally created the property. Their descendants remained deeply involved with making fine wine, and Raoul de Pichon-Longueville built the present chateau in 1851.
In 1988, following an architectural competition organized by the Centre Georges Pompidou, the château and wine cellar were entirely renovated. A spectacular new winemaking facility enables an exquisite wine to be made under ideal conditions.
