Anmeldelser af Château Pichon-Baron 2. Cru Classé Pauillac 2018
100/100 Wine Enthusiast
"This great estate in southern Pauillac, facing the Latour vineyard, is at the top of its game. In this release, the tannins are as impressive and dense as the black fruits. Together they form a harmonious ensemble, richly structured, concentrated from the many old vines in the blend, and very ageworthy. Cellar Selection."

"Very intense nose of tobacco and grilled bacon, tight, dense, fat and creamy on the palate with strong backbone, fabulously complex, chewy, rich, and stunning length. Emphatic and stupendous wine!"
98/100 Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider
"Incredibly dark in color, the wine pops with Cuban cigar, cedar, herbs, tobacco leaf, red and black currants, forest floor and peppery spice box aromas. This could be the most concentrated, powerful vintage of Pichon Baron ever produced. The wine is very concentrated, full and deep. Yet, with all this depth of flavor, everything remains perfectly balanced. The tannins are ripe. Full-bodied and lush on the palate, with layers of sweet, ripe, dark red fruits in the finish, the wine really sticks with you. Jean-Rene Matignon feels this is his best vintage. I am not sure I agree. But if it is not, it is damn close to it! The wine blends 78% Cabernet Sauvignon and 22% Merlot. Due to its immense power, this is the only vintage of Pichon Baron aged in 100% new oak, however, the oak is already fully integrated into the wine."

"Grilled cedar and attractive aromatics, with well-handled extraction giving confident but unmistakable oak impact. This is good-quality, showing gentle raspberry leaf aromatics on the opening, savoury cassis and bilberry, with pencil lead and crayon appearing along with the tannins as it stretches out through the palate. There was one week less of maceration than normal, so 21 days instead of 28, which will have helped control extractions."
97/100 Jeb Dunnuck
"A beautiful, majestic Pauillac that reminds me a little of the 2000, the 2018 Château Pichon-Longueville Baron checks in as 78% Cabernet Sauvignon and 22% Merlot that was brought up in 80% new French oak. It shows the estate's more pure Cabernet, focused, elegant style yet offers full-bodied richness and serious depth of fruit as well as awesome notes of crème de cassis, graphite, lead pencil shavings, tobacco, and wet stone-like minerality. With building tannin's, a fresh, focused texture, and a great finish, it's not for those looking for instant gratification, and I suspect it will need a solid decade or more of cellaring, but it will evolve for 50 years or more. It's a profound 2018. Rating : 97+"
97/100 Wine Spectator
"A very polished and pure expression of Pauillac, but don't go to sleep on it. As charming and vibrant as the cassis, cherry preserve and blackberry paste flavors are, they have a latent saturated feel. And then there's a serious network of iron girders supporting it all, along with sweet tobacco, floral and worn cedar accents. Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot."
97/100 James Suckling
"Aromas of blackcurrants, blueberries, ash and cedar with hints of conifer. Full-bodied, yet so tight and refined with polished, toned tannins that are creamy and compact with a silky texture. Energetic and driven."
97/100 Antonio Galloni, Vinous
"Suave and sophisticated, the 2018 Pichon Baron is a real head-turner. Silky, polished tannins wrap around a core of inky dark red/purplish berry fruit. More than anything else, the 2018 impresses for its exceptional balance. All the elements are so impeccably balanced. That will make the 2018 easy to drink relatively early, although my preference would be to leave it in the cellar for the better part of the next decade. Rose petal, spice, blood orange and mint add brightness and perfume on the long, finely-knit finish."

96/100 Robert Parker
"The 2018 Pichon-Longueville Baron is a blend of 78% Cabernet Sauvignon and 22% Merlot, aged for 18 months in barriques, 80% new and 20% one year old. Production of the grand vin represents 50% of the harvest this year. Deep garnet-purple colored, the nose bursts from the glass with flamboyant scents of stewed black plums, crème de cassis and Black Forest cake, plus suggestions of Indian spices, unsmoked cigars, pencil shavings and espresso. The medium to full-bodied palate delivers impactful black fruit preserves and exotic spice layers, framed by plush tannin's and a lively backbone, finishing long and spicy."
Om Château Pichon-Baron
Da Baron Joseph de Pichon Longueville i 1850 lå for døden, delte han sin Pauillac-ejendom i to. Til sine døtre gav han Pichon Lalande, mens sønnen Raoul fik overdraget Pichon-Baron.
Begge slotte blev hædret som 2. Cru Classé i 1855-klassifikationen. I årtierne frem til 1987 blev der hvilet på laurbærbladene, og Pichon-Baron var en skygge af sig selv. Efterfølgende har AXA Millésime, anført af Jean-Michel Cazes og (siden 2000) Christian Seely, ført Pichon-Baron tilbage på ret kurs.
Håndhøstede druer, optisk sortering, nye produktionsfaciliteter, osv. osv. I dag anvendes kun topdruer til slottets ”Grand Vin”, som ofte udfordrer Pauillac-naboen Ch. Latour og de andre 1. Crus. Derfor kaldes 2. Cru Pichon-Baron for en ”super second”.
