WINE | RED WINE | BORDEAUX | PAUILLACBottle of : 0.75L
The power and refinement of Pauillac in a second wine of true character
- The second wine of the prestigious Château Pichon Longueville Baron, Grand Cru Classé. Les Griffons expresses the full elegance and power of Pauillac's terroir whilst remaining more accessible than the grand vin—an ideal introduction to this distinguished estate's quality.
- Built on Cabernet Sauvignon, this wine is structured and elegant, with refined tannins and considerable depth. Merlot contributes roundness and fruit, tempering the Cabernet's power and achieving a harmonious balance between strength and finesse.
- Designed for near-term enjoyment thanks to its well-integrated tannin structure and bright fruit aromatics, Les Griffons also possesses genuine cellaring potential. With time, it develops greater complexity—leather, forest floor and truffle notes emerging gradually.

In the mouth
Powerful and silken on the palate, with well-integrated tannins. Ripe dark fruits—cassis, blackberry, black cherry—meld with tobacco and liquorice notes across a rich, velvety structure. The finish is long and persistent, marked by freshness and a subtle mineral edge.
On the nose
Complex and intense bouquet revealing dark fruits—cassis and plum—alongside cedar, spice and a characteristic smoke typical of fine Pauillac. Aromatic depth unfolds gradually.
On the eye
Deep purple robe with brilliant garnet reflections and violet hues
Breeding
Aged in French oak barrels for 18 months, with 50% new wood, imparting subtle vanilla and toasted aromas whilst respecting the fruit's purity
Les Griffons de Pichon Baron is a second wine of genuine elegance, offering a refined expression of Pauillac's terroir. Its aromatic richness, fine tannins and silken structure make it an excellent companion to red meat, game and mature cheeses. More approachable than the grand vin, it allows immediate enjoyment of Pichon Baron's excellence whilst retaining the capacity to develop further complexity over several years in the cellar. A fine Bordeaux that exemplifies the balance between power and refinement.
