Description
The 2017 Pichon Baron is a blend of 79% Cabernet Sauvignon and 21% Merlot picked between September 18 and October 9 and aged for 18 months in French oak barrels of which 80% are new. The wine has an extremely pure bouquet with black currant, blueberry and graphite aromas with a beautifully defined oak tone that blends seamlessly with the fruit. The taste is medium-bodied with very fine tannins. The wine is disarming and completely harmonious with a stunning mineral body. According to the Wine Advocate, it is the most sensual Pichon Baron that has ever been on the tasting table. The wine unfolds gently in the mouth and leaves with a very lingering aftertaste that stimulates the senses. This is one of the most beautiful vintages of Château Pichon Longueville Baron and has a beautiful drinking window until 2040+

March 2020 Week 3, The Wine Advocate
Composed of 79% Cabernet Sauvignon and 21% Merlot aged for 18 months in French oak barrels, 80% new, the deep garnet-purple colored 2017 Pichon-Longueville Baron slips sensuously out of the glass with provocative cherry preserves, baked raspberries and fresh blackcurrants scents, leading to nuances of red roses, charcoal, tilled soil and cardamom plus a waft of forest floor. Medium-bodied, the palate is elegant, refreshing and refined, with a compelling line of soft, grainy tannins and lots of perfumed accents, finishing fragrant.

From: 2017 Bordeaux – Mirror, Mirror on The Wall… (Mar 2020)
The 2017 Pichon-Baron has developed into a potent wine, even by its own standards. Black cherry, plum, chocolate, grilled herbs, licorice, new leather and spice all flesh out in a succulent Pauillac that shows the racier personality of the year. In the glass, Pichon is dark, racy and sumptuous as it so often is, with terrific density and explosive energy. Today, I see less of the aromatic brilliance the wine showed en primeur; perhaps that will come with time. The 2017 spent 18 months in 80% new oak.
