Pauillac 2017 Chateau Pichon Longueville Baron

Château Pichon Longueville Baron

バニラとシガーボックス、優雅な2017年。

適度な夏の気温が酸を保ち、8月の乾燥が成熟を促した2017年。収穫日を注意深く見定めて仕上げられたヴィンテージです。深く濃厚な色合いから、バニラやココナッツ、黒い果実のブーケに、スパイスやシガーボックスの微妙なニュアンスが重なります。口に含むとふくよかで甘みがあり、精緻なタンニンがなめらかに包み込みます。ボリューム感のある美しい長さと、繊細さと優雅さの際立つバランスが魅力です。

Tasting note

Deep, intense and very dark in colour. The nose is wide-ranging, showcasing a bouquet of vanilla, coconut and black fruits, with subtle nuances of spice and cigar box. On the palate, it is full-bodied and sweet, smoothly coated with fine tannins. It has a beautiful length and volume. This elegant structure is the result of special attention to aging. While there is a sense of dignity, the style is imprinted with delicacy and elegance, and this balance is the great attraction of this vintage.
