Les Tourelles de Longueville 2012 (1x75cl)

This is the second wine of Château Pichon Baron, made to drink a bit sooner than the grand vin — a practical pick if you want Pauillac character at dinner without waiting years for it to open up.

Cabernet Sauvignon-led Bordeaux blends from Pauillac usually show a firm, structured style even in their more approachable bottlings.

Tasting notes

Pauillac reds like this usually show blackcurrant, cedar and a touch of graphite, with tannins that are firm but more approachable than the grand vin.
