Château Pichon Baron 1996 Imperiale

Tasting note

Pichon-Longueville is located on beautiful 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 château in 1851. In 1988, following an architectural competition, the château and wine cellar were entirely renovated. A spectacular new winemaking facility enables an exquisite wine to be made under ideal conditions.

a single entity which was split up into two parts in 1830 to create the distinct Pichon Longueville and Pichon Comtesse labels, the Chateau Pichon Baron very soon carved out an excellent reputation as a Grand Cru. With its subtle combination of the human factor (the charisma of its successive owners and the expertise of those working the vines), the micro-climate and the exceptional soil of the vineyard (structured around beautiful gravel and clay ridges over 40 hectares), Pichon Baron excels in Pauillac style and in the development of its great Cabernet wines in particular. Its Pichon Longueville

and Les Tourelles de Longueville wines are indisputable evidence of the intrinsic qualities expected by serious amateurs of Pauillac wines.
