Château Pichon Baron - Pauillac - Red - 2006 :

 

Château Pichon Baron: A Monumental Second Growth

A quintessential Pauillac, Château Pichon Baron is celebrated as one of the finest Deuxièmes Crus (Second Growths) of the 1855 Classification. The château, owned by AXA Millésimes since 1987, has consistently produced a Grand Vin of exceptional quality, defined by its formidable structure and classic 'masculine' character. It is a Cabernet Sauvignon-dominant blend, ensuring longevity and remarkable complexity, making it an essential wine for any serious cellar.

Tasting Notes (Classic Profile)

• Colour: Inky, deep ruby-garnet.
• Aroma: Intense and aristocratic, with notes of cassis, black cherry, pencil shavings, tobacco leaf, and a subtle hint of mint or eucalyptus.
• Taste: Richly concentrated and powerful on the entry, evolving into a silky-smooth mid-palate supported by firm, yet beautifully integrated tannins. The finish is lengthy, mineral-driven, and perfectly balanced, promising decades of development.

Food Matching & Serving

Best enjoyed with robust, flavourful dishes. Decanting is strongly recommended for younger bottles. Serve at cellar temperature, 16°C to 18°C.

• Food Matching: Traditional Sunday Roast (Beef or Lamb), Game Pie (e.g., Venison), Pan-seared Foie Gras with Fig Chutney.
