Château Pichon Longueville Baron 2015 Pauillac

Château Pichon Longueville Baron

2015年の恵みを映す、力強さと気品。

2015年は春から夏にかけて乾燥した好天が続き、適度な水分ストレスが果皮の厚い凝縮したブドウを育てました。収穫期も理想的な天候に恵まれ、均一で高い成熟度を実現した年です。カシスやブラックベリーの豊かなアロマに、葉巻箱、杉、鉛筆の芯、スパイスが幾重にも重なります。緻密でシルキーなタンニンが熟した果実味を支え、濃密でありながら重さを感じさせません。今も、さらなる熟成の先も楽しめる一本です。

Tasting note

2015 is a highly-regarded vintage across the entire Bordeaux region. Dry, favorable weather from spring through summer, combined with moderate water stress, resulted in thick skins and concentrated grapes. The harvest period also enjoyed ideal conditions, leading to uniformly high ripeness.
