The nose is rather shy, but what is remarkable is that there is no trace of the green notes of pyrazine that can be so predominant in this troublesome vintage, especially in the Médoc where grapes struggled to ripen. This is a relatively light-bodied, less structured Pichon Baron, but it is very fresh and appetising and benefits from a delightful fruit-driven finish. In the words of Christian Seely, it is “the most miraculous wine we have ever made.” It is undeniably one of the frank successes of the vintage, and while it has no need of further aging, it may even surprise us further in the future.

Varietal

Red Bordeaux

There are few regions in the world with stricter regulations in regards to wine production and grape varietals than those found in Bordeaux, France. Here, in the home of the world's finest wines, the type and quality of grapes used is of utmost importance, and the legendary wineries which work on the banks of the Gironde river have mastered the careful art of juice blending to find the perfect balance for their produce. Whilst there are six 'official' Bordeaux grapes, the two key varietals for almost every fine Bordeaux wine are Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, and with good reason. Whilst Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are renowned for their acidity and astringency, strong fruit and spice flavors and full body, Merlot grapes are notably rounded, soft, fleshy and lighter on tannin. The combination of these two varietals, along with a small percentage of (commonly) Petit Verdot or Cabernet Franc, is the perfect balancing act â€“ the two grape varietals cancel out each others weaker points, and accentuate all that is good about the other.

Pauillac

Pauillac, a prestigious appellation within Bordeaux's Left Bank, stands as a vinous crown jewel renowned for its exceptional red wines. Home to some of the world's most illustrious châteaux, including Lafite Rothschild and Latour, Pauillac is synonymous with Cabernet Sauvignon-driven blends. What makes Pauillac unique is its impeccable terroir, characterized by deep gravel soils and a maritime influence from the Gironde estuary, creating wines of unparalleled power, structure, and longevity. Cabernet Sauvignon thrives in this environment, contributing to Pauillac's signature style—a harmonious blend of cassis, graphite, and cedar. The region's famed classification system of 1855, which ranked châteaux based on reputation, further highlights Pauillac's commitment to excellence. Exploring Pauillac wines unveils the epitome of Bordeaux winemaking, where tradition, meticulous vineyard management, and the art of blending converge to produce wines that exemplify the grandeur and sophistication of this esteemed appellation.

Solid, with ample iron and briar notes layering the dark currant and blackberry fruit flavors. Offers a sappy feel for the vintage, with brambly tannins holding the finish. This has put on some noticeable weight since the barrel tasting. Best from 2017 through 2024. 10,000 cases made.

Aromas of orange peel, lightly toasted oak and berry. Full body, very ripe and intense with dried fruit on the finish. Drink or hold.

One of the gems in this difficult vintage (there’s plenty of good wines in 2013, not many great wines), the 2013 Pichon-Longueville Baron offers solid ripeness and medium-bodied richness as well as plenty of darker fruits, underbrush, and spicy, cedary aromas and flavors. It’s a charming, balanced, nicely textured 2013 to drink over the coming decade.
