Château Pichon Baron

Pauillac’s Ch. Pichon Baron, formerly known as Ch. Pichon-Longueville Baron, is ranked as one of the 15 Second Growths from the 1855 Classification and is considered one of the "Super Seconds". Pichon Baron and Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande, its neighbour across the road, started life as the same Pauillac estate.

Interestingly many critics describe the wines of Pichon Baron as being masculine and Pichon Lalande as more feminine.
