Château Pichon Longueville Baron 2007
Château Pichon Longueville Baron 2007
The turreted château on the label is one of Bordeaux's most photographed — and the wine behind it is Pauillac aristocracy. Pichon Baron sits directly across the road from Latour on deep gravel soils, producing what the estate itself describes as authentic Pauillac of black fruit, spice and exceptional length, with the structure to age forty years.
The 2007, now at eighteen years of maturity, is drinking in its prime: cassis and blackberry deepened by cigar box, graphite and warm spice, the tannins fully resolved into velvet. In its original wooden case, this is classic mature Pauillac for the dinner that calls for something serious — without First Growth money.
At the table: Roast lamb, ribeye, duck breast, hard aged cheeses. Pauillac and lamb is one of the oldest pairings in the book, for good reason.

Its Pauillac structure meets a rich, slow-cooked dish confidently, while now-gentle tannins keep the pairing from turning heavy. Bordeaux at an ideal moment to drink.
