Château Pichon-Longueville Baron是位於波爾多Pauillac的酒莊，人稱"男爵" 或 Pichon Baron，與同宗的Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande （"女爵" 或 Pichon Comtesse）在1855年Bordeaux Classification中均被列為二級莊（2nd growth）。
葡萄園位於Pauillac的南端，與Saint-Julien接壤，與Château Latour對街相望。佔地73公頃，種植了約60％的Cabernet Sauvignon、35％的Merlot，以及少量的Cabernet Franc和Petit Verdot。
Château Pichon-Longueville本為一家，直至1850年被分成兩部分。 Baron Raoul Pichon de Longueville繼承了一部分，餘下的部分傳給了他的三個姐妹，成為Château Pichon-Longueville Comtesse de Lalande。雄偉壯觀的城堡由男爵於1851年開始管理，自1987年以來，Pichon Baron一直由法國保險公司AXA擁有。

2018年的Pichon-Longueville Baron由78% Cabernet Sauvignon及22% Merlot混調，木桶陳年18個月，80%新桶，20%一年桶。旗艦酒的產量佔當年收成的50%。
深沉的石榴紅和紫色，散發出煮黑布冧、黑加侖子酒和黑森林蛋糕的華麗香氣。還有印度香料、未點燃雪茄、鉛筆屑和濃縮咖啡的味道。中等到飽滿的口感，帶來黑色水果蜜餞和異國香料的風味，令人印象深刻。由柔軟的單寧和活潑的骨幹構成，餘韻悠長而充滿香料味。

Château Pichon-Longueville Baron, generally referred to as Pichon Baron, is an estate in the Pauillac appellation rated as a second growth in the 1855 Bordeaux Classification. As with other top Pauillac wines, the grand vin is prized for its combination of powerful dark fruits, finesse and elegance, and ability to age for many decades.
The vineyard is situated at the southern end of Pauillac, bordering Saint-Julien and across the road from Château Latour. Its 73 hectares (180 acres) are planted with around 60 percent Cabernet Sauvignon and 35 percent Merlot, with smaller amounts of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot.
A larger Pichon-Longueville estate existed until 1850, when it was split in two. Baron Raoul Pichon de Longueville inherited one part, with the remainder being passed down to his three sisters as Château Pichon-Longueville Comtesse de Lalande (aka Pichon Comtesse). The imposing, much-photographed château was begun by the Baron in 1851. Pichon Baron has been owned by AXA, the French insurance company, since 1987.

(Robert Parker's rating: 96+ points)
The 2018 Pichon-Longueville Baron is a blend of 78% Cabernet Sauvignon and 22% Merlot, aged for 18 months in barriques, 80% new and 20% one year old. Production of the grand vin represents 50% of the harvest this year. Deep garnet-purple colored, the nose bursts from the glass with flamboyant scents of stewed black plums, crème de cassis and Black Forest cake, plus suggestions of Indian spices, unsmoked cigars, pencil shavings and espresso. The medium to full-bodied palate delivers impactful black fruit preserves and exotic spice layers, framed by plush tannins and a lively backbone, finishing long and spicy.
(James Suckling's rating: 97 points)
Aromas of blackcurrants, blueberries, ash and cedar with hints of conifer. Full-bodied, yet so tight and refined with polished, toned tannins that are creamy and compact with a silky texture. Energetic and driven. Try after 2026.
