Right now, I’m on my way up to New York for a tasting of Chateau Pichon-Baron (the grand vin is officially called Chateau Longueville au Baron de Pichon-Longueville) and Chateau Pichon-Lalande (officially Chateau Pichon-Longueville, Comtesse de Lalande). Quite a mouthful, to be sure, but so are the wines—both renowned and highly-sought-after Second Growths.
I’ll be tasting side-by-side examples from both chateaux’s 2006, 2005, 2004, 2003, 2002, 2001, and 2000 vintages, as well as Pichon-Lalande 1989, 1985, and 1975, and Pichon-Baron 1990 and 1985. Check back here later this week for a full accounting and video of the wines, and follow the updates on Twitter today as I post live from the restaurant.
