Bought in 1986 by the AXA group, initially under the leadership of Mr. Cazes (Lynch-Bages), Pichon-Longueville Baron regained its best form in the powerful and distinguished style of the great Pauillac. It must be said that a small half of its vines are located next to those of Latour, on a first growth terroir! For the Revue du Vin de France: "Pichon-Baron is at the top in the last vintages".
The 2022 vintage in the press:
La Revue du Vin de France (Guide 2026): 98/100 "It expresses the great pedigree of Cabernet grapes at a perfect point of balance and maturity. The wine is juicy, salty and velvety. Its energetic finish is exemplary in its freshness, unfolding endless waves of black fruit notes. It is set to age for several decades."
Vinous (A. Galloni - January 2025): 98/100 "The 2022 Pichon Baron is one of the most elegant, polished wines I have ever tasted here. Silky and refined, the 2022 is super-impressive right out of the gate. The aromatics alone are mesmerizing. Blood orange, herbs and floral notes lend notable delineation to a core of Cabernet Sauvignon fruit. As I did en primeur, I find the wine's balance nothing short of exquisite. There's more freshness and vibrancy here than in the past, along with a noticeably lower oak imprint and more sensual tannins that lend notable sophistication throughout. The Grand Vin spent 16 months in French oak barreks, 70% new, and then two months in wood cats prior to bottling."
J-M Quarin (February 2025): 99/100 "Black colour, intense and lively. The nose starts off a little subdued, before developing in the glass, fine, subtle, deep and complex. Nuances of black fruit and spices. Full-bodied from the outset, then immediately dense, with a fine fatness that runs across the palate combined with an exuberant black fruit flavour, the wine evolves serenely over a noble yet tight tannic structure. Great complex persistence. A great, powerful Pichon Baron, with a rare mellowness. For the moment, the best ever made with the 2016."

The 2021 vintage in the press:
La Revue du Vin de France (Guide 2025): 96/100 “It has digested its ageing admirably and is endowed with a luminous, radiant body, with lots of rebounding flavors on the palate.”
Vinous (A. Galloni - December 2023): 96/100 “Dark and brooding in bearing, the 2021 Pichon Baron is a somber, mysterious wine. It is every bit as impressive as it was en primeur. Graphite, leather, spice, mocha and dried herbs meld together in a wine of power, precision and contemporary classicism. It's one of my early favorites in this vintage. I won't be too surprised if it turns out even than this note suggests.”

The 2016 vintage in the press:
Vinous (N. Martin - January 2020): 93+/100 "The 2016 Pichon Baron has a powerful, menthol-scented bouquet that almost overwhelms the senses. This comes across richer than its peers, almost heady in style. The palate is medium-bodied with thick tannins, layers of rich black fruit laced with pencil lead and a dash of white pepper. An extravagant Pauillac with an uncharacteristically hedonistic finish. Superb, but I have had better bottles."
La Revue du Vin de France (2018): 97/100 “monumental.”

The 2010 vintage in the press:
Vinous (N. Martin - February 2020): 96/100 "The 2010 Pichon-Baron is simply one of the greatest wines produced under Christian Seely's tenure. It has a stunning bouquet with penetrating black fruit, wilted violet and a touch of sea spray, a distinctive marine note verging on shucked oyster shells. The palate is very well balanced with fine grain tannins, layers pf graphite infused black fruit and a very detailed, captivating finish. Brilliant."
Mr Rouzaud (Champagne Roederer) acquired it in 2007 and has since strengthened the technical team by adding the advice of Mr Boissenot. Pichon-Comtesse remains faithful to the style that has made it so successful, as dense, suave, charming, enchanting and above all endearing.

The 2020 vintage in the reviews :
La Revue du Vin de France (2024 Guide) : 99/100 "Pure class! This 2020 unfurls a subtle, silky, meticulous texture, with vibrant berry notes and an absolute delicacy in its mouthfeel. Velvety tannins bring supreme refinement to the finish."
Vinous (Neal Martin - November 2024) : 99/100 and #3 of the Top 100 wines of 2024 "The 2020 Pichon-Longueville Comtesse de Lalande has one of the more opulent aromatic profiles amongst the flight of Pauillac wines, displaying black cherries, cassis, graphite and cedar. The palate is medium-bodied with svelte tannins and a silver bead of acidity. Silky smooth in texture, this retains impressive composure toward the finish, handling the weight of fruit with class. It imroves with each swirl, though the bottle I tasted just after bottling had a touch more precision. Nevertheless, this a fabulous Pauillac that flirts with perfection."

The 2019 vintage in the press:
La Revue du Vin de France (Guide 2023): 97/100 “The big Cabernets (Sauvignon and Franc) provide the backbone to the wine. On the palate, the wine is precise but not austere, with the usual velvety finish."
Vinous (N. Martin - January 2023): 98/100 “The 2019 Pichon-Longueville Comtesse de Lalande demands more coaxing from the glass, but it rewards patience with compelling graphite-infused black fruit, unapologetically classic in style, the terroir flooding through. The palate is medium-bodied with wonderful sapidity, gorgeous balance and a pure yet powerful finish that makes you wish you could build a time machine and taste it in 20 years. Sublime.”

The 2016 vintage in the press:
Vinous (N. Martin - January 2020): 97/100 "The 2016 Pichon-Longueville Comtesse de Lalande is very expressive on the nose, displaying more red fruit than the 2016 Lynch-Bages, but retaining classic Pauillac style thanks to tobacco and cedar scents that manifest with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins and a fine bead of acidity. Very harmonious, leading to a pure and very detailed, almost pixelated finish that is utterly seductive."

The 2010 vintage in the press:
Vinous (N. Martin - February 2020): 94/100 "The 2010 Pichon-Longueville Comtesse de Lalande is again, very deep in colour. It has a compact nose that demands aeration, opening up with blackberry, raspberry coulis, graphite and light iris aromas, all well defined but implying that it has more to give in the future. The palate is medium-bodied with firm tannins, a fine bead of acidity, a little peppery in style with a smooth and harmonious, more Saint-Julien like finish. it is an extremely charming and drinkable Pauillac though."
Mouton-Rothschild's second wine, which appeared in 1993, has since made its place among its peers (Carruades de Lafite, Forts de Latour, Pavillon Rouge) by offering each vintage a great Pauillac, full, fleshy, muscular, barely less deep and full-bodied than its famous big brother but with the same cassis finish. Petit Mouton has grown up!
The 2022 vintage in the press:
La Revue du Vin de France (Guide 2026) : 96/100 "Le Petit Mouton is a fruit bomb that explodes in the mouth. It coats the palate with notes of blackcurrant, raspberry and blackberry... both dense and airy, it is a very fine, long and balanced wine."
Vinous (A. Galloni - January 2025): 91/100 "The 2022 Le Petit-Mouton is a rich, powerful wine, almost exaggeratedly so in this vintage. A blast of dark cherry, plum, leather, cloves and licorice stains the palate with notable resonance. There's a lot of wine here, but the 2022 is going to need quite a few years to shed some of its considerably youthfulness. The long, sustained finish is very promising."
J-M Quarin (February 2025): 93/100 "Beautiful dark red colour. Intense, ripe fruity nose, particularly smoky when the glass is shaken. Juicy on the attack, suave in the middle palate, with a distinguished touch, the wine rises in the finish, deep, flavoursome and long."

A cashmere-textured finish fans out gloriously. This is a seriously fine Pauillac for long-term cellaring (written before its identity was revealed).”

The 2018 vintage in the press:
Vinous (A. Galloni - March 2021): 93/100 "Just as it was from barrel, the 2018 Le Petit-Mouton is fleshy, radiant and very easy to enjoy. Soft contours and silky tannins add to its considerable allure. Because of low yields, the Petit-Mouton was aged entirely in new oak. Rich, sumptuous and bold to the core, the 2018 is a rock star wine."

The 2017 vintage in the press:
Vinous (A. Galloni - December 2019): 92+/100 "The 2017 Le Petit-Mouton is endowed with tremendous richness and intensity. Deep, ample and structured, it is brimming with inky red and purplish berry fruit, pomegranate, spice, leather, blood orange, white pepper and wild flowers. The potent, plush 2017 is full of explosive energy that is just waiting to be unleashed."
Mouton-Rothschild's upgrade in 1973 from second to first grand cru classé was as legitimate as it was deserved in view of the quality of its terroir, a plateau of 90 hectares of deep gravel to the north of Pauillac, with Lafite-Rothschild as a neighbor. Despite this promotion, and even though it regularly tops the rankings in tastings, Mouton-Rothschild remains to this day the least expensive of the Médoc's premier crus classés. Its powerful, full-bodied style and its ability to age well have led Mr. Bettane to write "perhaps the most formally perfect wine in the Médoc...".
The 2019 vintage in the press:
J-M Quarin (September 2023): 97/100 “Dark, purple, youthful color. Very aromatic nose, fine, fruity, fresh and ripe at the same time. Smoky when the glass is shaken. Meticulous on entry, particularly tasty in the middle, with graceful touch and a body that melts delicately, the wine evolves on moderate power, towards a great finish that leaves room for aroma. Particularly harmonious tannic extraction. No austerity for the vintage.”
Vinous (A. Galloni - February 2022): 99/100 “The 2019 Mouton Rothschild has come together beautifully since I tasted it from barrel; Today, it is unquiestionably one of the wines of the vintage. Powerful and statuesque in its beauty. Mouton is remarkable in every way. Layers of dark-toned fruit confer seriousness and intensity that builds with time. All of the finesseI saw in barrel is still present. Since then, the 2019 has gained flesh and vibrancy. Magnificent."

Ample on the attack, velvety and fleshy in the mid-palate, then rich, powerful yet melting, this wine multiplies all the gustatory registers. The finish is complex, savory, with a noble touch, great flavor and immense length. And even after spitting it out, something suave and delicious happens. What a wonder to say so much with such a moderate alcohol level!”
Vinous (A. Galloni - January 2019): 100/100 “A towering, thrilling wine, the 2016 Mouton Rothschild is unbelievably beautiful today. Aromatics, fruit density and vertical structure all come together. In the glass, the 2016 is remarkably vivid and powerful, and yet a gentler, more feminine side emerges with time in the glass. The intense, mineral, savory profile recalls the 1986, but the 2016 has more grace, inner sweetness and sophistication than that wine. Even so , the 2016 is going to need at least a number of years in bottle before it starts drinking well, although it won't be the bruiser the 1986 remains to this day. This is breathtaking wine from Mouton, Tecnical Director Philippe Dhalluin and his team."

Vinous (N. Martin - September 2021): 92/100 "The 2011 Mouton-Rothschild feels surprisingly reduced on the nose and needed a lot of coaxing. Leather, mocha, liquorice develops in the glass, quite bretty compared to its peers. The palate is medium-bodied, fleshy and ripe, that mocha translating over from the nose, minty with touches of white pepper on the finish. A very decent Pauillac, a solid rather than spectacular effort from Mouton this year."

Vinous (A. Galloni - January 2016): 94/100 "The 2007 Mouton-Rothschild is a gorgeous wine, especially within the context of the vintage. Open, expressive aromatics and forward fruit make the 2007 an excellent choice for drinking now and over the next two decades or so. Although the 2007 is not an epic Mouton, it is without question one of the best recent vintages for current drinking. Smoke, tobacco, cedar and licorice add the closing shades of nuance."

The 2006 vintage in the press:
Vinous (A. Galloni - January 2016): 92/100 "The 2006 Mouton-Rothschild is dark, powerful and intense, with firm tannins that need time to soften. This is an especially dark, somber Mouton. dark black fruit, smoke, menthol gravel and cured meats are some of the signatures. Slight vegetal notes underpin the fruit. I am not sure the 2006 has enough freshness to be a long-term ager or the depth of fruit to outlast tannins."
Appointed cellar master in 1994, Mr. Chevallier focused on developing Lafite-Rothschild wines without losing any of the characteristic bouquet of blackcurrant, graphite and cedar. This objective was quickly achieved, placing Lafite at the top of the 1st classified growths (this was already the case in 1855), and revered as such by the Chinese market. The incredible qualities of Lafite's terroir make it a unique vintage and give Cabernet Sauvignon (more than 90% present each year) its most beautiful aromatic expressions.

Bettane et Desseauve (Guide 2024): 98/100
Vinous (N. Martin - December 2022): 98/100 "The 2020 Lafite-Rothschild, which contains the highest proportion of Merlot since the 2016, hit the bull's eye from barrel. Revisiting the wine in the bottle since July, it still bursts from the glass with copious blackberries, touches of bluberry and juniper, pencil lead of crushed stone. Wonderful delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with finely-chiseled tannins, quite linear and "correct"- aquintessential Lafite-Rothschild in many ways. It gently builds in the mouth while keeping a restraint on things, finishing with fine sapidity yet a little more juiciness than you would have found a decade or two earlier. This has the potential to evolve beautifully over several decades."

Vinous (N. Martin - March 2018): 93/100 "The 2007 Lafite-Rothschild is a strong performer in what was a challenging growing season. At 11 years of age the 2007 is beginning to drink well with blackberry, briary, graphite and smoke on the nose, perhaps still that old touch of antique buerau. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grain tannins and tobacco, well balanced yet typically understated on the finish. The 2007 is not the greatest Lafite-Rothschild for sure, but it should offer 15 to 20 years of drinking pleasure."

The 1999 vintage in the press:
Vinous (N. Martin - September 2019): 92/100 "Personally, I have liked this First Growth since I first tasted it in barrel. Now 20 years old, it is beginning to show a little bricking ion the rim. The bouquet is clean and detailed, with black currant, raspberry, melted tar and cedardeveloping in the glass (but less of the allspice that I observed in previous bottles). The palate is medium-bodied and maybe more compact than expected, possibly due to this being ex-cellar. While not a concentrated Lafite-Rothschild, it is very harmonious and elegant, brushed with a subtle pepperiness toward the finish and a tang of dried orange peel on the aftertaste. Delightful."
Very rare are the crus of the north of the Médoc to have launched out for the moment in the organic conversion because of a stronger hygrometry than everywhere else in the Gironde. De Côme, a Petit Cru Bourgeois (superior) of 7 ha, has become after 7 years of efforts (and the loss of 2/3 of the 2018 harvest) the first growth of Saint-Estèphe certified organic, in a supple, fine and silky version of the appellation.
