The wine

Les Griffons is the Château Pichon Baron second wine. For a start, its black label comes as a surprise, breaking with the classic tradition of most labels of great French wines, and it surprises too in the glass: lovely, deliciously fruit-driven, a very seductive wine.

Wine critics reviewsReviews by Parker, Jancis Robinson, and Suckling

The Cabernet Sauvignon-based expression of Pichon Baron’s second wine contains 52% Cabernet Sauvignon and 48% Merlot. Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2017 Les Griffons de Pichon Baron has expressive notes of cassis, crushed black cherries and black raspberries with hints of lavender, underbrush, Provence herbs and tilled soil. The palate is medium-bodied and incredibly elegant with great freshness and very fine tannins, finishing earthy.

— Lisa Perrotti-Brown (27/04/2018)Robert Parker Wine Advocate Vintage 2017 - 89-91 PARKER

Glossy, dark crimson – very dense. Rich and racy and much more subtlety than the Tourelles. Inky finish. Good energy.

— Jancis Robinson (05/04/2017)JancisRobinson.com Vintage 2016 - 17 JANCIS ROBINSON

A pretty wine with medium to full body, round and creamy tannins and a flavorful finish. Shows plenty of currant and raspberry character with an attractive, stony mineral note underneath. Try after 2022.
