The 2022 Château Pichon-Longueville Baron 2ème Grand Cru Classé is an exceptional Pauillac from one of Bordeaux's most celebrated Second Growth estates. The outstanding 2022 vintage showcases the château's signature Cabernet Sauvignon-led style, delivering remarkable concentration, freshness and precision. The nose is intensely aromatic with aromas of blackcurrant, cassis and blackberry, layered with cedar, graphite, cigar box, violet and refined baking spice.
On the palate, it is full-bodied with vibrant acidity and beautifully polished tannins that provide both power and elegance. Flavours of ripe black fruits, dark chocolate and liquorice are complemented by notes of crushed stone, subtle French oak and savoury spice, leading to a long, refined finish. The exceptional balance and structure of the vintage give the wine impressive depth while ensuring outstanding long-term ageing potential.
Ben's Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an outstanding choice for collectors and lovers of classic Pauillac. Pair with premium beef, roast lamb, venison, duck breast or aged hard cheeses. While already impressive with extended decanting, it will continue to evolve beautifully over the next 25–35 years, rewarding patient cellaring with even greater complexity.
