Elaborated since the 2019 vintage, this Pauillac is a fruity, supple and well balanced wine.
The grapes making up the blend of this cuvée come from young vines in the Tour Pibran and Château Pichon Baron vineyard , with clay limestone and gravelly soil. These grapes are harvested, vinified and aged by the Château Pichon Baron team.
We produce this Pauillac with the same standards of quality as our other wines in order to highlight this appellation. This wine is aged in barrels of one vintage for 12 months.Vintage conditions
