The second wine of Château Pichon Baron showcases vibrant aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, plum, cedar, graphite, and violet. Elegant and approachable, it delivers silky tannins, fresh acidity, refined structure, and impressive depth while expressing the classic character of Pauillac with youthful charm.
Food Pairing: Pair with grilled ribeye, roast lamb, duck breast, beef tenderloin, mushroom risotto, aged Comté, braised short ribs, or truffle potatoes.
James Suckling
Deliciously ripe and balanced with attractive, earthy nuances, surrounding ripe-plum and red-berry aromas and flavors. Sheet-like tannins layer up neatly and build a long, esteemed finish. Second wine of Pichon Baron. Try from 2023.
Jeb Dunnuck
The more Merlot-dominated cuvée, the 2016 Les Tourelles de Longueville is a beauty in 2016 and is a fare click better than the 2015. Fleshy, forward, medium to full-bodied, and straight-up sumptuous, with lots of cassis, cedary herbs, and spice-driven aromatics, it’s another terrific wine from this estate. It’s certainly the more approachable of the trio and ideal for drinking over the coming 10-15 years.
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2016 Les Tourelles de Longueville is a blend of 58% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Cabernet Franc and 5% Petit Verdot (from young vines that are destined to go into the Grand Vin one day, according to Christian Seely), matured in 30% new oak for 12 months. It offers a mixture of red and black fruit on the nose, just a touch of melted tar with fine delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with quite a powerful opening, dense black fruit tinged with graphite, a solid Deuxième Vin with a slightly aloof finish (at least at the moment). There is a pleasant graphite note lingering long on the aftertaste that completes a fine Pauillac to enjoy over the next 12-15 years.
Wine Spectator
A solid beam of black currant and black cherry preserve forms the base of this wine, with lightly singed alder, violet and warm earth notes peeking in from the edges. The focused, mouthwatering finish shows good tension. Best from 2021 through 2030.
