Château Pichon Longueville Baron
1979RedCabernet Sauvignon, MerlotPauillac, Bordeaux, France
Pichon Baron is one of the grand estates of Pauillac, the Bordeaux village that produces some of France's most famous reds. The 1979 is a quietly good vintage from an era before the estate fully hit its stride in the 1980s — honest Bordeaux at a fair price compared to the famous years.
