Château Pichon Longueville

Bouquets of flowers, Cuban cigars, blackberries, black cherries, plums, smoke, cassis, and truffle aromatics capture your attention. On the palate, the wine is elegant, silky, vibrant, and graceful. The fruits provide purity, length, and freshness. The layers of licorice-infused cherries, plums, walnuts, chocolate, and black plums on the medium-bodied palate are supple, silky, and as generous as the vintage allows, finishing with more of those sweet, juicy, vivacious plums. The wine promises sublime pleasure with just a few years of age and will evolve for 2-3 years decades. The wine blends 83% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14% Merlot, and 3% Cabernet Franc. 12.7% ABV. 3.7 pH. The harvest took place September 23 - October 9. Yields were a paltry 20 hectoliters per hectare. Only 50% of the harvest went into the Grand Vin. Drink from 2028-2047.
