Tasting Notes

The nose shows layered red and dark fruits—blueberry, black cherry, and blackcurrant—lifted by gentle toast, vanilla, and spice. The palate is powerful yet refined, with silky, opulent tannins and a precise, enduring finish.

Food Paring

Pair with roasted lamb, ribeye, or beef short ribs to meet the wine’s structure and depth. Earthy sides like truffle potatoes or mushroom ragù amplify its savory complexity.

Professional Reviews

100 Decanter

"Pichon Baron 2016 is a riveting, classy wine, richly aromatic and expressive from the start with a complex bouquet of black cherry, liquorice, graphite, menthol and subtle spices. The palate combines fleshy texture and linearity. The fine-grained tannins have the laser-like precision that Christian Seely likes so much, and contribute to the overall impression of crystalline purity so conducive to the terroir expression of this benchmark wine destined to reach new heights over the next 20 to 30 years. Magnificent wine."
