Review: |
"A dense wine with good richness and concentration. Slightly chewy, with an almost full body and a tight-grained finish. Long, structured and powerful. Not a lighter year for Pichon Baron, thanks to the low yield of just around 20 hectoliters per hectare. 87% cabernet sauvignon and 13% merlot." |

“The 2024 Pichon Baron was aged in 70% new oak. The nose is immediate and well-defined, with mineral-driven black fruit, a touch of pencil box and subtle estuarine scents. It is quintessential Pichon Baron. The palate is fresh and delineated on the entry, endowed with a core of sapid black olive tapenade-infused black fruit. I appreciate the energy that comes through, especially towards the second half, which maintains a sense of symmetry. It will be earlier drinking compared to the 2020 or 2022, but it is a successful Pauillac in the context of the challenging growing season, though it might require a little more time in bottle.” 92-94, Neal Martin, Vinous, Apr 2025
“Brilliant dark ruby, opaque core, purple reflections, delicate rim brightening. Nuances of black cherry and cassis, delicate hints of nougat, candied orange zest, inviting bouquet. Medium body, mineral, red berries, fresh structure, lemony salty finish, a hint of currant in the aftertaste, will benefit from maturity.” 93, Peter Moser, Falstaff, Apr 2025
