1983 Château Pichon-Longueville Baron - Pauillac (750ml)

A quintessential Pauillac, the 1983 Château Pichon-Longueville Baron is a Second Growth from the 1855 Bordeaux Classification, showcasing the estate’s historic prowess. Crafted primarily from Cabernet Sauvignon (65%) with Merlot (30%), this vintage reflects the gravelly terroir of Pauillac’s high plateau, near Château Latour. Despite a challenging decade for the estate, the 1983 marks the debut of its second wine, Les Tourelles de Longueville, signaling a turning point in quality focus. Ideal for collectors, this wine captures the essence of Pauillac with its structure and depth. Pair with beef or venison to complement its savory profile.

Tasting Notes:

• Nose: Restrained dark fruit, cassis, and black cherry with hints of over-maturity, toasty oak, and graphite.

• Appearance: Deep ruby-red, nearly opaque, with subtle edge-lightening.

Note:Sourced from meticulously maintained cellars, this bottle ensures quality and is a prized addition to any collection.
