The wines of Château Pichon Longueville Baron are designed for long ageing, making them essential references for patient enthusiasts. On great vintages, an optimal tasting window generally opens between 10 and 25 years after the harvest. A vintage such as 2005 or 2000 is thus still far from having revealed its full complexity. Bottles from the years 1970, 1975 or 1982 demonstrate, moreover, that the estate is capable of producing wines that reach four decades with ease, provided they are stored in a cellar at a stable temperature, away from light and vibrations.
