New denomination of the second wine of Pichon-Baron from the 2012 vintage, undoubtedly at the level of the 5th growths of Pauillac.
Rated 94/100 by En Magnum « Pichon-Baron est au plus haut niveau et signe ce Griffons impeccable. Parfait équilibre dans cette année solaire, élégant et précis dans son rendu du terroir. Un modèle du genre. » (Apr. 2020)
Rated 93/100 by the Revue du Vin de France « Cette cuvée à dominante de cabernet-sauvignon offre une admirable droiture et un grand potentiel.

New denomination of the second wine of Pichon-Baron from the 2012 vintage, undoubtedly at the level of the 5th growths of Pauillac.
The 2017 is all harmony, tender, delicate and already appreciable.
Rated 92/100 by Antonio Galloni « The 2017 Les Griffons de Pichon-Baron is a powerful, serious wine endowed with tremendous character and personality. It is especially somber in this vintage, with tannins that need time to soften. » (March 2020)
Rated 91/100 by Jean-Marc Quarin « Très caressant à l’attaque, très fruité, le vin se développe sur un profil élancé et sans cesse moelleux. Avec un tel toucher velouté, ce vin s’avale tout seul. » (Oct. 2020)

Bought in 1986 by the AXA group, initially under the leadership of Mr. Cazes (Lynch-Bages), Pichon-Longueville Baron regained its best form in the powerful and distinguished style of the great Pauillac. It must be said that a small half of its vines are located next to those of Latour, on a first growth terroir! For the Revue du Vin de France: "Pichon-Baron is at the top in the last vintages".
Rated 97/100 by the Revue du Vin de France « Matière superbe, concentrée, énergique et profonde. Il impressionne par sa longueur et la persistance de ses arômes » (Sept. 2021)

Rated 94+/100 by Antonio Galloni after bottling « The 2017 Pichon-Baron has developed into a potent wine, even by its own standards. Black cherry, plum, chocolate, grilled herbs, licorice, new leather and spice all flesh out in a succulent Pauillac that shows the racier personality of the year. » (March 2020)
Rated 96/100 by Jean-Marc Quarin « Minutieux au toucher dès l’attaque, puis très finement charnu, le vin prend de l’ampleur en milieu de bouche, avec des nuances de fruits blancs et de fruits rouges. Il s’étire en finale, gras, profond, délicat et pourtant dense. » (Oct. 2020)
