Chateau Pichon Baron, Giscours and Langoa Barton 2014 released
Today sees the release of second growth Chateau Pichon Baron 2014 at a Bordeaux price of €66 per bottle, up 22% on the 2013 and 1.5% on the 2012 and translating to a London merchant price of £645 per dozen. Whilst this does make the 2014 the most attractively priced release since 2010 in terms of quality, the 2008 for a higher points score and not much more appears to offer far better value for readily available stock.
