*Stunning Value For First Growth Matching Quality*
Chateau Pichon Baron is one of Pauillac’s great estates and one of the outright stars of recent En Primeur campaigns. The 2022 has just been released, and with 96-98 points from Neal Martin and Antonio Galloni matches both Lafite Rothschild and Mouton Rothschild for them. As such, it offers tremendous value for a wine of this quality and pedigree.
Intense, structured and aristocratic, Pichon Baron is quintessential Pauillac. It has been home to simply stunning wines over the years and improvements in winery and vineyard in recent years have propelled it to the very from rank in terms of consistent quality. It is currently one of the Left Bank’s most exciting properties.
The 2022 is brilliant. For Neal Martin, there is “Real pedigree and sophistication here” and “this is a magnificent Pichon-Baron that achieves a new level of precision”. For Galloni, “It continues a series of vintages that have been absolutely compelling” and “impresses with its precision and magnificent balance”.

The 2022 Pichon Baron was picked 8 September to 3 October and matured in 70% new oak. It has wonderful precision on the nose, with intense blackberry and bilberry fruit, crushed stone and graphite. The oak is seamlessly integrated. The palate is tensile right from the start. Taut and linear, fresh, quite saline with a nuanced touch of black pepper toward the finish. Real pedigree and sophistication here, this is a magnificent Pichon-Baron that achieves a new level of precision thanks to the more piecemeal Sauternes-inspired harvest in tandem with their new winery.
96-98 points Neal Martin
The 2022 Pichon Baron is marvelous. It continues a series of vintages that have been absolutely compelling. Bright red-toned fruit, spice, rose petal and blood orange lend considerable brightness throughout. More than anything else, the 2022 impresses with its precision and magnificent balance.
