Description
Winery Château Pichon Longueville Baron
Château Pichon Longueville Baron is a Deuxième Grand Cru Classé from Pauillac and is known for its Cabernet-driven style with tension, structure, and a classic Médoc profile. The estate works meticulously in both vineyard and cellar, focusing on ripe tannins, depth, and aging potential. As a result, Pichon Baron often produces wines that are impressive even in their youth, but truly shine after years of bottle aging. More information about this estate can be found under the "Winery" tab.
2022 Château Pichon Longueville Baron Magnum
The 2022 is a powerful, layered Pauillac that remains remarkably controlled. The blend consists of 81% Cabernet Sauvignon and 19% Merlot. The wine was bottled in June.
Grape varieties, origin and vineyards
Cabernet Sauvignon forms the backbone, providing cassis, graphite, and structure, while Merlot adds breadth and softness. The location in Pauillac and the estate's classic structure create that recognizable combination of dark fruit depth, spice, and a clean, mineral finish.
Harvest, vinification and maturation
In 2022, the focus was clearly on ripeness and concentration without excess. The result is a wine with plenty of extract and tension, with noticeably ripe and sweet tannins, and a crisp freshness that keeps the wine taut. The magnum bottle generally allows for slower and more even development, which often lends additional finesse and complexity with longer aging.
Color, smell and taste
Deep ruby red with a dark core. The nose reveals ripe dark fruit with cherries and blackberries, complemented by cigar box, pencil shavings, and licorice. The palate is full-bodied and multidimensional: compact, energetic, and intense, with plenty of concentration and a deep, dense fruit core. The tannins are rich and ripe, yet lingering, providing grip and length. The finish is long and persistent, with a classic Pauillac signature.
Storage potential and drinking window
The Wine Advocate (William Kelley) rated this wine 98 points and suggests a drinking window of 2032 to 2065. This is a wine that will further refine with bottle aging, especially in magnum format.

What a nose with complex aromas of blackberries, blackcurrants, graphite and pencil shavings. Full-bodied, this has layers of tannins and intense richness but is framed and held together by the phenolic structure. Vertical and deep, it goes on for minutes on the palate. Great finish. 81% cabernet sauvignon and 19% merlot. Give this five to six years to come together more. Best after 2030 and beyond.

From: A Place Beyond Praise: Bordeaux 2022 (Feb 2025)
The 2022 Pichon Baron was a knockout in barrel, though what matters is how it shows in bottle. This has retained the precision that I discerned previously: delineated scents of blackberry, bilberry and sea spray, just a light melted tar note percolating through with time. So Pauillac! The palate is medium-bodied with a core of sapid black fruit, white pepper and a patina of pencil lead. Perhaps this is a little tight after bottling as you would expect, yet there is linearity and grace about this Pauillac that is enthralling.

The 2022 Pichon Baron is one of the most elegant, polished wines I have ever tasted here. Silky and refined, the 2022 is super-impressive right out of the gate. The aromatics alone are mesmerizing. Blood orange, herbs and floral notes lend notable delineation to a core of Cabernet Sauvignon fruit. As I did en primeur, I find the wine's balance nothing short of exquisite. There's more freshness and vibrancy here than in the past, along with a noticeably lower oak imprint and more sensual tannins that lend notable sophistication throughout. The Grand Vin spent 16 months in French oak barrels, 70% new, and then two months in wood vats prior to bottling.

History of Château Pichon Longueville Baron
The history of Château Pichon Longueville Baron dates back to the 17th century, when it was part of a larger estate known as Château Pichon Longueville. In the 18th century, the estate was divided into two different properties: Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande and Château Pichon Longueville Baron. The latter came into the hands of Baron Joseph de Pichon Longueville, giving the estate its distinctive name. Over the years, the estate has changed hands several times and has undergone various improvements and expansions. At the end of the 19th century, the Miailhe family acquired the estate, and they remained stewards of the castle for generations. Today the estate is owned by the AXA Millésimes group, a renowned French insurance company that also owns other prestigious wine estates.

From: 2022 Bordeaux in Bottle: Living in the Present (Jan 2025)
The 2022 Pichon Baron is one of the most elegant, polished wines I have ever tasted here. Silky and refined, the 2022 is super-impressive right out of the gate. The aromatics alone are mesmerizing. Blood orange, herbs and floral notes lend notable delineation to a core of Cabernet Sauvignon fruit. As I did en primeur, I find the wine's balance nothing short of exquisite. There's more freshness and vibrancy here than in the past, along with a noticeably lower oak imprint and more sensual tannins that lend notable sophistication throughout. The Grand Vin spent 16 months in French oak barrels, 70% new, and then two months in wood vats prior to bottling.

Food Pairings
De 2022 Château Pichon Longueville Baron Magnum is een krachtige en gelaagde wijn met een rijke smaak van rijpe zwarte bessen, cassis en kruidige tonen, aangevuld met subtiele hints van sigaar, potloodslijpsel en zoethout. Deze wijn past uitstekend bij stevige gerechten zoals sappige rundvlees- en wildgerechten, omdat de rijpe tannines en de volle structuur mooi de kracht en diepte van het vlees aanvullen. Bij het bereiden van bijvoorbeeld een langzaam gegaarde ossenhaas of een geroosterd wildgerecht komen de rijke aroma’s en de mooie balans tussen fruit en structuur nog beter tot hun recht, vooral wanneer de gerechten met aromatische kruiden of een volle saus worden bereid. Een gerecht met een goede, stevige saus en een vleugje kruidigheid zorgt voor een perfecte harmonie die de complexiteit en finesse van deze wijn benadrukt.
