The Pichon Baron domain covers 73 ha of excellent quality gravelly soils which nourish in a balanced way the different varieties of vine stocks with an average age of 35 years.

A selection of the oldest vines is dedicated to the production of Pichon Baron, the great wine of the house, whose number of bottles is limited.

1992 is a somewhat closed and harsh vintage. The grapes, in particular the Cabernets, lacked maturity, the tannins are therefore powerful and a little green. To fully appreciate this wine, you will need to decant it and let it breathe for at least an hour.
