In this 2019 vintage, Les Griffons de Pichon Baron is a wine that we loved, an elegant, refined Pauillac with magnificent length.
The colour is dark, intense garnet red. The nose gives off aromas of black fruit, blackcurrant and blueberry, as well as a refined woody note.
The palate is full and smooth, with fine, precise tannins. The palate is full-bodied and smooth, with fine, precise tannins. Buoyed by great maturity, reflected in the quality of the fruit, the finish is savoury, elegant and racy, in an opulent whole without heaviness.
The blend for the 2019 vintage is 59% Merlot and 41% Cabernet Sauvignon.
The wines were matured for 18 months in French oak barrels, 50% of which were new and 50% one-wine barrels.
Les Griffons de Pichon Baron is one of the estate's two second wines. Created from the 2012 vintage, it has a pure, straightforward character. The grapes that make up the blend for this wine come mainly from gravelly plots close to the Gironde estuary, ideal for Cabernet Sauvignon. Les Griffons is an invigorating, fresh, full-bodied, straightforward and energetic experience. This wine can be cellared for over 20 years, but can be enjoyed straight away.
12bottles' advice : Château Pichon Baron 2019 is a wine that should wait a few years before reaching maturity. If you decide to taste it, decant the bottle at least 2 hours before serving. It will go wonderfully with red meats. Serve chilled at around 16°C.
