Château Pichon-Longueville Les Tourelles de Longueville 6er HK

Les Tourelles de Longueville is the second wine of Château Pichon-Longueville-Baron – and thus a direct glimpse into one of the best addresses of the Médoc, without having to pay the price of the Grands Crus.

Pauillac, on the left bank of the Gironde: Here, between Latour and Lafite, lies Château Pichon-Longueville-Baron, situated on deep gravel soils that allow Cabernet Sauvignon to develop unusual depth. Les Tourelles sources its grapes from younger vines as well as the Sainte-Anne parcel – vinified classically, with barrel aging in oak. The estate's philosophy of working with structure and aging potential is also evident here.

In the glass, it displays a concentrated ruby ​​red. The nose opens with blackcurrant, cassis leaf, and a hint of cedar – the typical Pauillac profile. On the palate, dense fruit, firm but not harsh tannins, and a lively acidity structure that keeps the finish long and linear. With a little aeration, graphite and dark spice notes emerge.

Drinking window: now until approximately 2030+, depending on the vintage. Serving temperature 17–18 °C.
Pairs well with: herb-crusted lamb loin, beef fillet, mature Comté or Pecorino stagionato. Also a great accompaniment to a sophisticated dinner – without the budget of a Premier Cru.
