2017 Château Pibran, Pauillac

This 17 hectare property is owned by the illustrious Ch. Pichon-Longueville-Baron. The 2017 is made from 68% Merlot and 32% Cabernet Sauvignon, the later being picked in early October. Colour is a rich purple-blue, with impressive, ripe aromas of black fruits, lifted by perfumed freshness. This is a fleshy, opulent wine with a satisfying core of rich fruit. The texture is succulent, the tannins rounded, and there is bright acidity that brings balance and length (for impressive drinking from 2022 – 2029+).
