With a long and tumultuous history in the Haut-Médoc, stretching all the way back to its classification as one of fourteen 3me crus in the 1855 Classification, the Chateau has been rescued from obscurity, sold from family to family and endured superbly, as this latest offering amply exhibits. Unique, vibrant, and deep in colour, the 2016 can proudly hold its head up among the best La Lagune releases of recent years. Intensely aromatic, with a supple, medium-bodied palate, it will benefit from four or five years in the cellar and give ample rewards for your patience.

The history of Chateau Pichon-Longueville Baron is a tale of two estates. The chateau and vineyard known as Pichon Baron was given in dowry to the founders daughter when she married Jacques du Pichon Longueville. After the death of their descendent, the Baron Joseph de Pichon Longueville, in 1850 the estate was again divided - on his deathbed, he gave what became Chateau Pichon Baron to the men of his family, and what became Chateau Pichon Lalande to the women - resulting in, some say, more masculine and sensuous styles of wine respectively! Between the 1960s and the 1980s, the estate went through a period of rather lacklustre production - however, since 1990, they have been producing, according to many, some of the best wines in their history. The 2016 has earned high praise and glowing comparisons to their legendary 1990 Pichon Baron.

Luring luxury connoisseurs from around the globe, this Chinese red is making waves internationally for being the first legitimately competitive high-end wine to come out of the countrys developing wine production industry. Its production is a long, complex story of cooperation between the CEO of Moët Hennessy, Australian enologist Tony Jordan, the Chinese government and Tibetan farmers - and its yielded something spectacular. The name Ao Yun means roaming above the clouds - and the name is apt, as the vineyards which produce it rise up to 2,600 metres at the foot of a sacred mountain in Yunnan province, not far from the famed city of Shangri-La on the fringe of the Himalayas. This spellbinding terrain has produced a wine of powerful flavour, complex spice, and a silky texture with tannin to spare and massive aging potential. Dont miss your chance to own a piece of wine-making history from a nation with the potential to become a powerhouse.
