Classic Pauillac, should be at its finest between 2006-2022." 91 Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate #122
"Marvelous aromas of raspberry, coconut and mineral. Full-bodied, with superbly well-integrated yet powerful tannins. Chewy and fruity finish. Needs a lot of time to mellow. Much better than the barrel samples I tasted. Best Pichon-Baron since 1990." 92 The Wine Spectator 1/31/99
Very good price for this library 2nd Growth.
Region: Bordeaux
Bordeaux is the largest fine wine-making region in the world ? with 284,320 acres of A.O.C. vines ? as well as the most legendary. Its sterling reputation is built mostly on red wines. But Bordeaux doesn't just mean reds. The region also produces a wide range of other excellent wines, including dry and sweet whites, ros‚ and clairet, and a sparkling wine called Cr‚mant de Bordeaux.
The great diversity of microclimates and soils (clay, gravel, chalk, limestone) are ideally suited to Bordeaux's different grape varieties including the Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Merlot.
The richness and elegance of Bordeaux wines is the result of subtle blending of these different grape varieties, combined with centuries of experience, the skills of local winemakers and on-going research by oenologists (wine scientists) and technicians. With 57 appellations, more than 9,000 wine-producing chƒteau, and 13,000 wine growers in the Bordeaux region, you can find sophisticated wines, refreshing wines, aged wines and young win
