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.

Robert Parker 91 points:
"The 2018 Les Griffons de Pichon Baron is composed of 52% Cabernet Sauvignon and 48% Merlot, aged for 12 months in barriques, 30% new and 70% one year old. Production of this label represents 20% of the harvest this year. Deep garnet-purple colored, the nose opens with wonderfully pure cassis and ripe black plums notes, leading to hints of clove oil, chocolate-covered cherries and tobacco leaf, with a waft of bay leaves. The palate delivers a firm, rugged texture and soft acidity, framing the mouth-coating black fruits nicely, finishing on a savory note."
