Harvested 18 September to 3 October, followed by an early and rapid fermentation and blending, meaning that wines were transferred into barrel by the end of November. 50% of production went into the grand vin. The 30hl/ha yield was not because of frost, but because of their low-yielding 60-year-old Cabernet vines. It's in keeping with the more focussed and intensely intellectual style of wine that Pichon Baron has produced over the past few vintages, meaning that the austerity of the year really suits it. I loved it." 04.2018 // Jane Anson 95/100:" A wonderfully rich and beautiful wine, intense and concentrated but with real generosity of spirit and huge persistency. In 2017, Pichon Baron is a wine of incomparable elegance and total finesse. In the glass, the 2017 possesses striking aromatic presence, vivid flavors, silky tannins and exceptional balance. Silky, nuanced and finessed to the core, the 2017 hits all the right notes. Lots of blackcurrants and blackberries in the end" 04.2018 // Antonio Galloni 93-96:"Pichon Baron is one of the sexiest Pauillacs I tasted in 2017. Strong tannins and a long and bright finish.

Medium-bodied, super intense and possessing stunning poise, it has very firm, fine-grained tannins and a beautifully silken texture, with bags of freshness and a very long, perfumed finish." 04.2018 // James Suckling 95-97 :" This is very centered and focused on the mid-palate with beautiful currant, coffee and walnut character.

A blend of 79% Cabernet Sauvignon and 21% Merlot, the 2017 Pichon-Longueville Baron is deep garnet-purple in color and simply sings of vibrant blackcurrants, black cherries and rose hip notes with nuances of potpourri, incense, licorice and pencil shavings plus touches of cigar box and fertile loam. Lisa Perrotti-Brown 95-97:" The grand vin represents 50% of production this year.
