The team at Pichon Baron decided to focus almost exclusively on the very best site available to this "Super Second", a gravel plateau opposite Château Latour, for their first wine - the rest, and the vast majority, is consigned to two very impressive second wines.Ĭru is one of the world’s leading fine wine retailers. Quality has certainly increased dramatically at this château, largely due to a ruthless reduction in the quantity of Grand Vin produced. The slew of excellent reviews from the world's leading critics for multiple vintages of this estate repeatedly marvel at the remarkable power of the tannins, and the breath-taking concentration always judged to perfection. Baron, conversely, was considered the more overtly powerful and structured of the two. Lalande quickly garnered a reputation of feminine elegance rightly or wrongly, but most likely in its early years as a result of being under female ownership, and has undoubtedly pursued this identity in its wines of recent years. Remarkably for two estates which were once one, their styles are dramatically individual - at least in the modern era. For many years, Pichon existed as one exceedingly large property, consisting of some 50 hectares of stunning terroir in the legendary commune of Pauillac.ĭeath and marriage, the two great catalysts for change in 19th century France, resulted in the split we see today between this great property, and its sister Pichon Lalande. It will probably approach drinkability in several years, but don’t discount its aging potential, as this easily has 20–25 years of cellaring potential.The neo-classical turrets of Château Longueville au Baron de Pichon-Longueville are amongst the most iconic images of Bordelaise grandeur in the entire region. For Togni, this is probably one of his more forward and precociously styled Cabernets. It is full-bodied and rich, but the tannins are well-integrated and don’t scream as loudly as some vintages of Togni can.

It seems slightly more approachable and civilized for a young Togni wine, with a dense ruby/purple color, loads of blackcurrant, licorice, and graphite, some earth and spice, but very subtle earth nuances. The flagship wine, the 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate from his vineyard high on Spring Mountain is a blend of 82% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot.

Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 30th Dec 2016 The 2014 is a wine built on energy and aromatics that won’t hit its stride until at least age ten. Graphite, smoke, savory herbs, mint, leather and a core of inky dark red and purplish fruit infuse this deep, beautifully layered Cabernet Sauvignon.

Togni’s 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate is quite dark and powerful, but also very much medium in body. You may try Pinot Noir or Chardonnay from various climates, but none with the earth-bound soul and ethereal reach of Burgundy. You may taste Cabernet from around the world, but perhaps none as elegant and regal as Bordeaux. Yet as often as they are emulated, the magic of their terroirs can never be duplicated. These are the wines that inspired cultures around the globe to follow in France’s footsteps, planting Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Syrah, Grenache, Merlot, Semillon and more. For centuries, France has been producing wines that inspire poetry, awe, and wonder wines that blur the lines between nature, craftsmanship, cuisine and art. You'll also find some refreshing Bordeaux whites and, of course, Bordeaux's famous dessert wine, Sauternes. These Cabernets aren't typically the full-bodied Cabs you get from California, but rather medium-bodied wines that emanate elegance and sophistication. Bordeaux is known the world over for its exceptional wines, particularly red blends made with Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot grapes, among others.
