{"product_id":"chateau-pichon-longueville-baron-2010","title":"Château Pichon-Longueville Baron 2010","description":"\u003cp\u003eLocated in Pauillac between top estates, Château Latour and Château Pichon Baron, Château Pichon-Lalande (shorthand for Château Pichon-Longueville, Comtesse de Lalande) is a highly-regarded 2nd growth estate that Antonio Galloni describes as the “single hottest château on Bordeaux’s Left Bank right now.” Ranked as a 2nd Growth in the 1855 classification, Pichon-Lalande is today revered as a \"Super Second\" — a distinction accorded to those outperforming their historical ranking. The caliber of Pichon-Lalande is such that it is often regarded as near-equal to First Growth quality, contending closely with other highly-regarded estates such as St. Julien’s Léoville-Las Cases and St. Estèphe’s Cos d’Estournel. Since 2010, it has earned four perfect 100-point scores from top wine critics, showcasing its continued standing as a paragon of Bordeaux.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSituated directly adjacent to 1st Growth titan Château Latour, Pichon-Lalande shares prime real estate along the Gironde estuary, where \"the best vines can see the river,\" according to an old Bordelais adage. The 20th-century vineyard expansion nearly doubled holdings, which today amount to 247-acres of land, which is divided into six blocks and 65 individual parcels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnusual for Pauillac, the deep gravel soils are planted to a comparatively high proportion of Merlot, with plantings amounting to 61% Cabernet Sauvignon, 32% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc, and 3% Petit Verdot. Average vine age is around 40 years of age with some reaching past 90. Organic and biodynamic measures were put into place starting in 2014 with a full biodynamic conversion of vineyards culminating in Demeter-certification in 2021.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"Rocking stuff that continues to show well, the 2010 Château Pichon-Longueville Baron bursts from the glass with ripe, darker currants, spice, leather, and cedar pencil notes. Full-bodied and layered on the palate, it’s incredibly concentrated and powerful, with beautiful overall balance. It's a complete, satisfying, textbook Pauillac that has so much to love. Count yourself lucky if you have bottles in the cellar. Give it a solid decant if drinking any time soon, and it will keep for another 30+ years. Drink 2025-2055.\" - 98 Points, Jeb Dunnuck\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\"A dense and layered wine with lots of ripe and sweet fruit. Loads of currants, plums and tar. This is concentrated and almost jammy with velvety tannins. Powerful.

Medium to full-bodied, the palate has a firm backbone of grainy tannins and lovely freshness with bags of energetic black fruits and a long, wonderfully pure finish.\" - 96 Points, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Château Pichon-Longueville Baron\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e France\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion: \u003c\/strong\u003eBordeaux\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVarietal: \u003c\/strong\u003eCabernet Sauvignon, Merlot\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAppellation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pauillac\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2010\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VinoNueva Fine \u0026 Rare Wine Miami","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46470612320392,"sku":null,"price":234.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0349\/2239\/7832\/files\/Ch_teau_Pichon-Longueville_Baron_2010.jpg?v=1788195226","url":"https:\/\/vinonueva.com\/products\/chateau-pichon-longueville-baron-2010","provider":"VinoNueva Fine \u0026 Rare Wine Miami","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
