Fragrant nose of blackcurrants, black cherries, sandalwood, nutmeg, kelp and dried lavender. Full-bodied with firm, polished tannins. Well framed, with a deep, fleshy core of dark fruit. Excellent second wine. Try in 2026.

The 2019 Les Tourelles de Longueville is a blend of 19% Cabernet Sauvignon, 68% Merlot, 8% Cabernet Franc and 5% Petit Verdot, harvested from the 18th of September to the 11th of October. It is being aged in French oak barrels, 30% new, for 12 months. The production of this wine represents 28% of the harvest. Very deep purple-black colored, it features captivatingly pure crushed black plums and fresh blackberry scents on the nose with suggestions of tilled soil, pencil lead, licorice and charcoal with a waft of bay leaves. The full-bodied palate delivers mouth-coating black fruits with a wonderfully plush texture and just enough freshness in the background, finishing long and earthy.
Barrel Sample

Jeb Dunnuck: 90-92 Points

The more Merlot-dominated second wine of Pichon Baron, the 2019 Les Tourelles De Longueville checks in as 68% Merlot, 19% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Cabernet Franc, and the balance Petit Verdot. Brought up in 30% new French oak, it shows the vibrancy and freshness of the vintage nicely and has lots of black cherry and currant fruits, a touch of chocolate and cedary spice, medium to full-bodied richness, and a great finish. It's charming, fruit-loaded, and already drinkable, yet it has the balance, depth, and tannins to evolve for 10-15 years.
