I hope the 1970 Pichon Baron gave forces to the mother… Wines are made sensitively for this kind of moment!

We felt some nervous anticipation as the turpentine colored old cork was being drawn from the bottle. So many variables came together and reached their collective fruition in that moment, nearly thirty years later, and it was superb.

We then talked about the ’70 Château Pichon Longueville Baron that we had three months ago when his wife gave birth to their daughter. His wife’s birth year was 1970 and he shared that vintage to celebrate the moment, and her hard work.

I believe the word that defines Mr. Matignon’s emotional connection to this great wine and the land is stewardship.

What they do is clearly a part of who they are and it shows.

Keep up the great work. – Russ
