🏰news | features: The 1995 Les Tourelles de Longueville is the esteemed second wine of Chateau Pichon Longueville Baron, offering 【a surprisingly delicate and fine expression of Pauillac with a beautiful bouquet of red and black fruit, cedar, and mint】. This vintage, a blend with a higher proportion of Merlot, provides a softer structure and more pronounced fruit character compared to the Grand Vin. While some found it stern and austere in its youth, others noted its surprising delicacy and refinement, with a beautiful bouquet that develops with aeration. + short tasting note: 【A complex spiced aromatic nose of cedar, cassis, tobacco, and green pepper, leading to a medium-bodied palate with rounder, more accessible tannins and notes of red and dark fruit like cherry, plum, and cassis.】 Expect subtle spice, tobacco, and light toast, with a balanced structure, maintaining freshness and elegance. The finish is smooth and pleasant, with lingering fruit and subtle spice, and can show a surprisingly sweet aftertaste. 🍴 Chinese Cantonese food pairing: An excellent match for beef, venison, and pork, and can also pair well with Asian cuisine. 🥂 fit for event suggestion: Intended for earlier consumption than the Grand Vin, this wine is perfect for a refined dinner party or a special gathering, offering an accessible introduction to Pauillac's character. Serving Suggestion: For a wine of this age (31 years), the cork might be fragile. Decanting is recommended to remove any sediment and allow the wine to open up, revealing its full aromatic complexity. Serve at around 16-18°C (60-64°F).
