Omschrijving
De 2019 Pichon-Longueville Baron zal de boeken ingaan als een van de beste wijnen van dit château in de moderne tijd, samen met de jaargangen 2016, 2010 en 1989. In het glas ontvouwt hij zich met aroma's van cassis en pruimen, vermengd met tonen van sigarenwikkel, zoete leemgrond en viooltjes. Deze wijn is vol, fluweelachtig en gelaagd, met een uitstekende concentratie, levendige zuren en rijke, poederachtige tannines. Geparfumeerd en resonerend, is dit een diepe, jonge Pauillac die dit jaar meer lijkt op zijn buurman Château Latour dan op Pichon Lalande.
Château Pichon Longueville Baron ligt op een eersteklas terroir in Pauillac, bekend om zijn grindachtige bodems die bevorderlijk zijn voor de teelt van Cabernet Sauvignon, de dominante druivensoort in de wijngaarden. Het landgoed beslaat ongeveer 73 hectare, waarbij Cabernet Sauvignon het merendeel van de aanplant omvat, aangevuld met Merlot, Cabernet Franc en Petit Verdot. Het wijngaardbeheer bij Pichon Longueville Baron is nauwgezet, met de nadruk op duurzame en milieuvriendelijke praktijken. De combinatie van het unieke terroir en het zorgvuldige wijngaardbeheer draagt bij aan het onderscheidende karakter van de wijnen die op het landgoed worden geproduceerd. Château Pichon Longueville Baron volgt een traditionele benadering van wijnmaken, waarbij een combinatie van moderne technieken wordt gecombineerd met respect voor het erfgoed en de geschiedenis van het landgoed. Het wijnbereidingsteam, onder leiding van de getalenteerde technisch directeur, probeert de nuances van het terroir in elke vintage tot uitdrukking te brengen. Het vinificatieproces omvat een zorgvuldige sortering van de druiven, temperatuurgecontroleerde gisting en rijping in een combinatie van nieuwe en gebruikte eikenhouten vaten. Er is verstandig gebruik gemaakt van eikenhout, waardoor de wijnen complexiteit en structuur kunnen ontwikkelen zonder de fruitkarakteristieken te overheersen. De wijnen van Château Pichon Longueville Baron staan bekend om hun diepgang, elegantie en rijpingspotentieel. Ze vertonen doorgaans een rijk boeket van donker fruit, cassis en cederhout, met een stevige tanninestructuur die een uitstekend rijpingspotentieel biedt. De toewijding van het landgoed aan kwaliteit en consistentie heeft zijn status als een van de toonaangevende producenten in de Pauillac-appellatie en Bordeaux als geheel versterkt.

The 2019 Pichon-Longueville Baron will go down as one of this château's great wines of the modern era, along with 2016, 2010 and 1989. Unfurling in the glass with aromas of cassis and plums mingled with notions of cigar wrapper, sweet loamy soil and violets, it's full-bodied, velvety and layered, with superb concentration, lively acids and rich, powdery tannins. Perfumed and resonant, this is a profound young Pauillac that bears more of a resemblance to its neighbor Château Latour than to Pichon Lalande this year. Pichon Baron was one of the great deals of the en primeur campaign, and readers who purchased futures are to be congratulated on their foresight.
The numbers speak for themselves: until 2000, Pichon-Longueville Baron produced some 350,000 bottles per year; since 2001, that figure has fallen to 160,000. Managing director Christian Seely's first decision on arriving at the property was to reduce production, focusing the grand vin on Cabernet Sauvignon growing on the deep gravel terraces opposite Château Latour that have always been the heart of this historic estate and which were the source of the great duo of 1989 and 1990 before being joined by other holdings after a series of acquisitions in the early 1990s. The results speak for themselves in the form of a series of excellent vintages, and things improved further with the construction of a new barrel cellar in 2006, permitting better temperature control and more precision during élevage. In style, Pichon Baron these days has more in common stylistically with the depth and structure of Latour than it does with the perfumed sensuality of its sibling, Pichon Lalande; and in quality, it's clearly one of contemporary Bordeaux's greatest wines. It's hard to know whether 2010, 2016 or 2019 will emerge as the best Pichon Baron of the decade—and of Seely's tenure up to the time of writing—but what is certain is that the 2019 is a striking wine that any Bordeaux lover would want to have in their cellar.
Pichon Baron is different this year. Very different. So different, I had to check the bottle. Same label. Different wine. Better wine.
“I think that it is different,” Christian Seely, managing director of AXA Millésimes, which owns Château Pichon Longueville-Baron, told me when I asked him what was going on over there. “I’ve just done a vertical, and it does stand out as different. What particularly showed well this year was the Cabernet. Now, we are only sourcing the Cabernet from our best terroirs, our deepest gravels on the plateau. We were tasting these and they were so impressive. So, this is the highest proportion of Cabernet ever in Pichon Baron. And there was one parcel of Merlot that did very well—also planted on the plateau. It is the most delicate and fine. What’s amazing is the freshness in the wine is almost paradoxical—it was a year when the grapes got extremely ripe. 2019 was a year for the great terroirs to shine. The freshness is almost counterintuitive.”
Politically speaking, I’m not entirely sure what is happening behind the scenes at Pichon Baron, but last year’s 2018 offering was a considerable step up from anything I have ever tasted before at this estate, and this year is, astonishingly, even better. Selection, selection, selection no doubt plays a part. According to Seely, only 49% of the crop made it into this grand vin—just slightly stricter than last year. Frankly, I’m in awe of what Seely and his team have been doing. Keep doing it!

Blackberries and blueberries with stone and graphite. Flint and black licorice, too. So perfumed. Full-bodied, very long and linear with incredible length. The new 1990, but better crafted. Chewy, yet so tailored and wonderfully proportioned. Freshness and elegance. Wonderful depth. 87% cabernet sauvignon rest merlot. The highest ever proportion of cabernet. Try after 2026.

From: Bordeaux 2019: The Southwold Tasting (Feb 2023)
The 2019 Pichon Baron is quite closed on the nose, blackberry, bilberry and incense, with graphite and cedar developing with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, not quite as finessed as Pichon Lalande, but with great structure and density on the close. It needs a little more precision to develop on the finish but just give it time. Tasted blind at the Southwold annual tasting.

The 2019 Pichon-Baron is magnificent. In fact, the 2019 is one of the very finest recent vintages I can remember tasting. Cabernet Sauvignon is the highest ever in the Grand Vin at 87%. That comes through in the wine's vibrancy, explosive power and overall profile. Dark cherry, plum, gravel, licorice and incense infuse the 2019 with tremendous depth to match its virile personality. Pichon-Baron was impressive from barrel and it is again today from bottle. Superb.

From: Omne Trium Perfectum: Bordeaux 2019s in Bottle (Feb 2022)
The 2019 Pichon Baron was picked from September 18 to October 11. It has a captivating bouquet of intense blackberry, cedar, Japanese nori and sea spray notes on the nose, all exquisitely defined and poised. The harmonious palate is medium-bodied and classic in style, with pencil-lead-infused black fruit, lovely poise and not a single hair out of place toward the finish. Christian Seely believes this vintage suited Pichon-Baron, and that is confirmed by the quality in bottle. Outstanding.
