Les Tourelles de Longueville 2016 (1500ml)
Ripe blackcurrant, juicy blackberry and dark cherry give Les Tourelles de Longueville 2016 a rich, inviting character, complemented by hints of cedar, tobacco and gentle spice. The palate is smooth and generous, with layered dark fruit, fine tannins and refreshing acidity bringing balance to its structured profile. Subtle notes of graphite and earthy spice lead into a lingering, savoury finish.
Produced by Château Pichon Baron, a prestigious Second Growth estate in Pauillac, Les Tourelles de Longueville offers a distinctive expression of the château's terroir. The excellent 2016 vintage combines depth and concentration with classic Left Bank freshness, delivering a beautifully balanced Bordeaux that is approachable now and capable of further ageing.

Deliciously ripe and balanced with attractive, earthy nuances, surrounding ripe-plum and red-berry aromas and flavors. Sheet-like tannins layer up neatly and build a long, esteemed finish. Second wine of Pichon Baron. Try from 2023.

The more Merlot-dominated cuvée, the 2016 Les Tourelles de Longueville is a beauty in 2016 and is a fare click better than the 2015. Fleshy, forward, medium to full-bodied, and straight-up sumptuous, with lots of cassis, cedary herbs, and spice-driven aromatics, it’s another terrific wine from this estate. It’s certainly the more approachable of the trio and ideal for drinking over the coming 10-15 years.

A solid beam of black currant and black cherry preserve forms the base of this wine, with lightly singed alder, violet and warm earth notes peeking in from the edges. The focused, mouthwatering finish shows good tension. Best from 2021 through 2030.
