Château Pichon Baron 2006
Château Pichon Baron 2006 is a dry, very full-bodied red from Cabernet Sauvignon (Pauillac, France), in the full, structured reds style. Tannins are very firm and acidity fresh; oak influence is noticeable. Those scales describe the wine when young; this is a 20-year-old bottle and its tannin and oak will have softened. Good with steak, lamb, venison, cheese board.

The 2006 vintage of Château Pichon Baron is a classic Pauillac. Powerful, poised, and built to age gracefully, this has all the hallmarks of a great Left Bank Cabernet Sauvignon. Château Pichon Baron, officially known as Château Pichon Longueville Baron, is one of Pauillac’s great Second Growths, classified in 1855. Established in the late 17th century, it sits just across the road from its famous neighbour Pichon Lalande. Under the ownership of AXA Millésimes since 1987 and the meticulous direction of Christian Seely, Pichon Baron has reasserted itself as one of the Médoc’s top estates, producing wines that combine intensity, precision, and remarkable ageing potential.
