During the 1980s there were signs of recovery but not at the same speed as with many other properties during this time and certainly nowhere near that of Pichon-Lalande that had prospered enormously under the care of May de Lencquesaing to become one of the first "Super-seconds". His eldest son Bertrand was still young and inexperienced and there was a lack of money for necessary investments leading to a decline in quality of the wines during the 1960s and 1970s. This ranking is based on The Wine Advocate notes with Robert Parker and his team.
#1990 pichon baron full#
I was 20 years old in the year 1990, and full of beans, and it’s good to see that many Bordeaux are still feeling that happy vibe, even now. It often makes a big difference with older wines, I feel. Over the space of a few years, the grand vin of Pichon Longueville Baron has established itself as one of the best crus of Pauillac. But on the death of Jean Bouteillier in 1961 its reputation began to sink. The bottle tasted was direct from the Chateau’s cellar.
The reputation of Pichon Baron until the 1960s was superior to that of Pichon Lalande across the road, it was also placed above Pichon Lalande in the Classification of 1855. It is a wine that improves year after year and can age for over 40 years in the cellar.
Château Pichon Baron exhibits elegance, intensity and exceptional length on the palate. Our Grand Vin Château Pichon Baron, classified as a 2nd Grand Cru Classé in 1855, is made with grapes from the oldest vines on the estate’s historic plots.This quintessential Pauillac offers an intense and profound sensory experience of great complexity.
