Les GRIFFONS de PICHON BARON
Second wine from Château Pichon-Longueville Baron

New denomination of the second wine of Pichon-Baron from the 2012 vintage, undoubtedly at the level of the 5th growths of Pauillac.

J-M Quarin : 94/100 "Delicious on the palate, smooth in the mid-palate, with a refined texture and a slow build-up, the wine finishes with a long, succulent aftertaste, with the aromas returning in the finish. It is meticulously crafted and simply irresistible."

Vinous (N. Martin) : 92-94/100 "The 2025 Les Griffons de Pichon Baron has a relatively light bouquet that unfolds in the glass, mainly black fruit, cracked black pepper, pencil shavings and bay leaf. Just a light briny sea spray scent sits in the back seat. The palate is medium-bodied with chalky tannins, fine acidity, gentle grip and a balanced, off-dry finish that lingers in the mouth. A step up from the previous vintage."

Vinous (A. Galloni) : 92-94/100 "The 2025 Les Griffons de Pichon Baron is absolutely gorgeous. Broad, ample and creamy in the glass, the 2025 is seriously beautiful right out of the gate. Black cherry, plum, new leather, licorice, incense and mocha flesh out the layers effortlessly. The Griffons might very well be the star of the show this year, given its quality and price."

Bettane+Desseauve : 91-92/100 “Harmonious and already appealing, with a structure quite similar to that of Tourelles in this vintage. The wine nevertheless deserves a few years’ ageing to fully reveal its depth and balance.”
