Christian Seely was on hand to guide me through the AXA-Millésime Bordeaux portfolio that not only includes Pichon Baron, but the oft under-rated Pibran, as well as Suduiraut and Petit Village. Again, I asked the question that he must have been sick to the teeth of by the end of primeur... “Frost?” Christian replies: “The vines in Les Tourelles was affected by the frost but nowhere else. The sloping part of Pibran planted with Cabernet was touched so there is more Merlot in the blend for that. The flowering was over 12 days. I think it is closer to 2014 than 2015 and 2016, but 2014 was the product of a cool summer and fantastic end of season, whereas this was a cool summer with a difficult end of season. It was a year of strange extremes. But I find the wine harmonious and balanced. It is a vintage that does not represent its agricultural year, does not reflect its ups and downs. You might have expected big and ripe wines given the heat in the summer. There is ripeness and also freshness, though not necessarily derived from acidity levels.” This was another fine brace of wines from Christian Seely, particularly Pichon-Baron that is first becoming the First Growth for those who are not bothered whether it says First Growth on the label. That said, it is a couple of steps behind the 2015 and 2016 in terms of concentration and complexity, yet it will still provide two decades of fine drinking.
