Les Griffons de Pichon Baron is the latest addition to the estate’s range. This spirited younger brother to Château Pichon Baron has retained a similarly pure and direct character. It is crafted with the same meticulous care for parcellar selection as the Grand Vin, with grapes from the original plots and cellar aging for as long as its older brother. However, its specific blend contains more Merlot, softening its powerful aromas.
Les Griffons offers a vigorous and fresh tasting experience, full-bodied and clean, overflowing with energy. It can be cellared over 20 years, but will already be a pleasure to drink in within 3 to 5 years.
93 points from James Suckling:
"Attractive, modern style with assorted, ripe summer berries, layered with upbeat, toasty oak. The palate is fresh and gently muscular tannins serve this wine well. Try from 2022"
Region/Country: Pauillac, Bordeaux, France
