Pauillac 2000

The 2000 Left Bank harvest is broadly regarded as one of the greatest vintages of the modern era, producing wines of exceptional concentration, balance and longevity across the Médoc. For Château Pichon Baron, 2000 is considered the finest vintage from this address in a generation, drawing universal critical acclaim for its combination of commanding structure, aromatic depth and classical Pauillac character. Pichon Baron is one of Pauillac’s most celebrated Second Growths of the 1855 classification, situated on the finest gravelly ridges of the appellation directly south of Château Latour and long regarded as producing wines that challenge the classification above it, transformed under the ownership of AXA Millésimes from 1987. The blend is anchored by Cabernet Sauvignon with Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, aged in new French oak.
