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。

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.

Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2016 Pichon-Longueville Baron offers a suave and seductive nose of warm red and black currants, black plum preserves, truffles, tapenade and rose hip tea with touches of sandalwood and Chinese five spice plus a waft of iron ore. Medium to full-bodied, firmly structured and packed with mineral and exotic spice-laced black fruits, it finishes very long with compelling herbal sparks. (Drinking window: 2022-2057)
