Château Pichon Baron’s 2018 vintage is all about precision and plush power. This Second Growth overdelivers on every level, especially in ripe vintages like 2018. It’s packed with inky black fruit, graphite, and crushed violets, but glides across the palate with finesse.
Mostly Cabernet Sauvignon with a dash of Merlot, it’s a wine of great depth and architectural structure. Polished oak, firm tannins, and long finish. If you love modern Bordeaux with serious cellar potential—this is a must.
