Château Pichon Baron 2006
The 2006 vintage of Château Pichon Baron is a classic Pauillac. Powerful, poised, and built to age gracefully, this has all the hallmarks of a great Left Bank Cabernet Sauvignon. Château Pichon Baron, officially known as Château Pichon Longueville Baron, is one of Pauillac’s great Second Growths, classified in 1855. Established in the late 17th century, it sits just across the road from its famous neighbour Pichon Lalande. Under the ownership of AXA Millésimes since 1987 and the meticulous direction of Christian Seely, Pichon Baron has reasserted itself as one of the Médoc’s top estates, producing wines that combine intensity, precision, and remarkable ageing potential.
Nuits-Saint-Georges 'Le Village', Edouard Delaunay, (Magnum) 2023
Est. delivery in 2026 Edouard Delaunay's 2023 reds are more refined, with less power than the previous years, offering more elegance and poise. The acidity is well-integrated, and the tannins are fine and soft, especially in the wines from the southern parts of Nuits-Saint-Georges (NSG), which do not include any whole bunches. The reds from 2023 show great potential for ageing, with enough structure to develop further while maintaining a fresh, layered character. "This flagship wine comes from vines over 50 years old. It is a blend of two vineyards from the southern part of NSG. The wine shows more blue fruit, dark cherry, and spices with good balance between acidity and tannins. The finish is smoky and coats the palate, though there is still some rusticity that will soften with age." Our note Overall, the 2023 vintage is a welcome surprise, offering a balance of power and elegance. With a focus on terroir expression, the wines show great ageing potential and freshness, with no over-ripeness or dilution. The whites are bright, fresh, and pure, while the reds show refinement and elegance, with a good structure for future ageing. While some of the wines are still developing, there is much to look forward to in the coming years. Delaunay features as one of the Top 15 Négociants & Cooperatives in Tim Atkin's Burgundy 2023 Special Report.
