Chateau Pichon Baron 2017

Chateau Pichon Baron is a Second Growth Pauillac produced from the estate's oldest vines on historic vineyard plots. Cabernet Sauvignon leads the Bordeaux blend, delivering black fruit, spice, graphite and structured intensity. The wine combines elegance, depth and exceptional length, with considerable potential for extended cellar ageing.

Food Pairing: Pairs best with grilled ribeye, roasted rack of lamb, braised short ribs, or aged Comte.
