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。

2016年的Pichon-Longueville Baron跟2016、2010及1989年一樣，會成為現代最偉大的葡萄酒之一。散發出黑醋栗和布冧的香氣，混合著雪茄茄衣、甜壤土和紫羅蘭的味道。酒體飽滿、柔滑、層次分明。味道濃郁、酸度活潑、粉狀單寧。這款年輕的Pauillac，與它的鄰居Château Latour極為神似。

黑莓、藍莓、石頭、石墨，還有火石和黑甘草。非常芳香。酒體飽滿，味道一浪接一浪，悠長得令人難以置信。就像1990年份的新版，但手藝更佳。有嚼勁，比例完美。清新優雅，美妙的深度。87%的Cabernet Sauvignon，有史以來最高比例。
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.

The 2019 Pichon-Longueville Baron will go down as one of this château's great wines of the modern era, along with 2016, 2010 and 1989. Unfurling in the glass with aromas of cassis and plums mingled with notions of cigar wrapper, sweet loamy soil and violets, it's full-bodied, velvety and layered, with superb concentration, lively acids and rich, powdery tannins. Perfumed and resonant, this is a profound young Pauillac that bears more of a resemblance to its neighbor Château Latour than to Pichon Lalande this year.
(James Suckling's rating: 97-98 points)
Blackberries and blueberries with stone and graphite. Flint and black licorice, too. So perfumed. Full-bodied, very long and linear with incredible length. The new 1990, but better crafted. Chewy, yet so tailored and wonderfully proportioned. Freshness and elegance. Wonderful depth. 87% cabernet sauvignon rest merlot. The highest ever proportion of cabernet.
