#2005 PICHON BARON MANUAL#
Total destemming is done though manual harvesting. Cabernet Sauvignon reigns indisputably in the vineyard of Pichon Baron, carefully managed by the team of Jean-René Matignon, the domaine's technical director. A significant renovation programme of the château, the wine cellars and the technical installations of Pichon-Longueville followed. It was managed by their descendants for the next fifty years and it was a Sleeping Beauty which the company AXA Millésimes purchased in 1987. The domaine belonged to the Pichon family until 1933 when it was then sold to the Bouteiller family. The dwelling itself, inspired by the Château d'Azay le Rideau, was built in 1851 by Raoul. Classified as a Second Cru in 1855, the property was divided in favour of a succession and the vinified wines separately from 1860 : Raoul, the only surviving son of the Baron Joseph, therefore takes the head of the current Pichon Longueville Baron, often nicknamed « Pichon Baron »,whilst his daughter Virginie, the wife of the count of Lalande, received the other part of the property, hence the addition : « Comtesse de Lalande ». Produced under the leadership of Jacques de Pichon, the Baron of Longueville, the wines follow in the footsteps of those of Latour at the start of the 18th century. Planted with vines since the end of the 17th century, it achieved almost instant renown. The vineyard of Pichon Longueville Baron extends over the exquisite land of Garonne gravel to the south of the appellation on the high plateau which is a transition between the commune of Pauillac and that of Saint-Julien.

The palate is rich and dense, a deep core of black fruit offset by firm tannins and savoury tobacco and leather notes. Deep purple colour with a brooding nose of intense black fruit and sweet crème de cassis, offset with high tones of cedar and pencil shavings. The 2015 Pichon Baron is a strongly Cabernet Sauvignon wine - 77% of the blend - and represents around 43% of the vineyard's total production. Two second labels are now produced - Les Griffons (from the younger vines) and Les Tourelles de Longueville (from a specific parcel of mostly Merlot vines). Latour-like in style, Pichon Baron has been a star performer in all our recent blind vintage tastings. The grand vin is now made only from fruit produced in the original vineyard that is opposite Latour and next to Lascases. The vineyard is planted with 62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 32% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot. In recent years Englishman Christian Seely has been in charge and quality continues to rise. This great 73 hectare vineyard has been producing classic Pauillac since the late 1980's when Jean-Michel Cazes of Lynch Bages took control.
