The oak is polished and fully integrated, building structure without overwhelming the fruit, while graphite, tobacco leaf and dark chocolate carry through a long, mineral finish. It is beginning to reveal its complexity after a generous decant, but its depth and architecture promise another two decades or more of graceful development.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor when: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe guest list is short, the dinner is serious, and only a great Bordeaux will do.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePairs with: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCôte de boeuf, roast rack of lamb, venison loin, beef Wellington, truffle and mushroom pie, or mature Comté.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eClassified as a Second Growth in 1855, Château Pichon Baron makes its Grand Vin from the estate’s oldest vines and finest historic plots. At its heart is the Butte de Pichon Baron, a gravel rise used for the wine since 1694, whose free-draining soils and proximity to the Gironde give Cabernet Sauvignon the structure, perfume and longevity that define great Pauillac.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wine Republic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56342512435585,"sku":null,"price":195.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0916\/0513\/9841\/files\/2015ChateauPichonBaron_ChateauPichonBaron.png?v=1791294721"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0916\/0513\/9841\/collections\/collection_background_image_e7c35e76-0dc0-4d9f-9806-c5630176b5fb.png?v=1763292207","url":"https:\/\/www.wine-republic.co.uk\/collections\/bordeaux.oembed?page=3","provider":"Wine Republic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
