Les Tourelles de Longueville 2015
Les Tourelles de Longueville is the second wine of Château Pichon Baron. Named after the turrets that embellish the château, it embodies the charm of the estate. The grapes that are used to blend the wine come essentially from the Sainte Anne plot, planted mainly to Merlot, giving to it a distinctive personality. Les Tourelles de Longueville is an invitation to enter a world of flavour, charm, roundness and sensual delight. This wine provides an introduction to the spirit of Pichon Baron and can be enjoyed young or aged in the cellar for 15 years or more. Made from a blend of Merlot (55%), Cabernet sauvignon (30%), Cabernet Franc (10%) and Petit verdot (5%), the Tourelles de Longueville 2015 offers a fine dark ruby colour. The nose is marked by the berry fruits of redcurrant, black cherry, wild strawberry and mild spices. The attack is fresh, elegant and subtle. The structure unfolds and grows in power. The finish is harmonious, full and well balanced. This wine is full of charm and grace.
