- Expert tasting note: (2024 vintage) "The deep, dark, vibrant purple-red color is not quite opaque. Both nose and palate display fine black-plum & chocolatey notes at first, then the palate opens to show rounded red-fruit. The structure is gripping with fine cedary tannins, graphite notes & savory touches. The wine has balanced alcohol & a mouthwatering freshness. There is a long, structured finish, ending with ripe, crunchy blackcurrant & graphite notes." - 04/25 ep DCAMW

Vintage Notes: - A warm and dry start to autumn until 15th October, followed by a rainy end to 2023 with more than 500 mm rainfall. - Mild and very wet winter, with total precipitation of 900 mm by the end of March. - Beginning of April: early budburst. - A cool, wet spring. - June: inconsistent flowering accompanied by coulure/millerandage and the arrival of mildew. - July and August: a hot, very dry summer, with a slow start to veraison at the end of July. - Late August: a return to more moderate weather allowed the grapes to ripen well. - September: late ripening, slowed down by difficult weather. Nevertheless, analyses of the grapes revealed good and rising levels of ripeness.

Winemaking: Selective picking was crucial again this year, ensuring that only perfectly round, healthy grapes arrived in the vats. To obtain the best possible result, our pickers carefully selected the grapes, which were then taken to the vat room to be inspected again by the sorters before the optical sorting process. We used all the techniques at our disposal to make the most of this delicate harvest: a gravity-fed process, light sulphiting combined with yeast-based bio-protection, wild yeast, low fermentation temperatures and slow, steady extraction with light pumping-over and delestage. The Merlots were drawn off from 15th to 24th October and the Cabernets from 23rd to 31st October.

2024 Vintage Tasted: May 2025

When to drink: 2028 to 2042

Deep garnet-purple colored. Fresh crushed blackcurrants, boysenberries, and juicy raspberries notes jump from the glass, followed by hints of iris, tar, and cedar chest. The light to medium-bodied palate delivers approachable, grainy tannins and bright acidity to match the elegant black and red fruit layers, finishing long and minerally.

About The Wine Palate

94 / 100 Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider

2024 Vintage Tasted: Apr 2025

Aromatically, the wine expresses its floral side, with violets, and roses before getting to the cocoa, black currants, licorice, smoke, and espresso notes. The palate offers vibrant, soft, and almost creamy red berries, mint leaf, tobacco, and sweet cherries, with notes of spearmint, and chalk at the very end of the finish. Bright, and refined, this modern, classically-styled wine is elegant, forward, and will be available for pleasure with just a few years in the bottle. It has the potential to age for 2-3 decades. The wine blends 87% Cabernet Sauvignon with 13% Merlot. 12.7% ABV, 3.7 pH. The harvest took place September 25 - October 3 for the Merlot. The Cabernet was picked October 3 - October 10. Yields were quite low at only 20 hectoliters per hectare. Drink from 2029-2055.

? / 100 James Suckling

2024 Vintage Tasted: Apr 2025

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.

2024 Vintage Tasted: 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 saltyfinish, a hint of currant in the aftertaste, will benefit from maturity.

2024 Vintage Tasted: Apr 2025

When to drink: 2030 to 2042

After rigorous selection, the yield was 20hl/ha. This is not a powerhouse wine but a delicate one with silky texture and grainy tannins. It has finesse and elegance, high-quality fruit, well-integrated acidity, and a lingering finish. A seductive effort!
