In the mouth
The palate is generous and fruit-driven, with well-integrated tannins that provide structure without aggression. The finish is sustained, with dark cherry and bilberry notes providing length and definition.
On the nose
The bouquet unfolds with delicate notes of dark fruits—blackcurrant and plum—complemented by subtle oak, tobacco leaf, and cedarwood. The aromatics are refined rather than exuberant.
On the eye
Deep purple with youthful intensity
Breeding
50% in new oak barrels, 50% in one-year-old barrels for 18 months
A wine of equilibrium and harmony, Les Griffons demonstrates the quality that distinguishes the Pichon-Longueville estate. The balance between fruit, oak, and tannin is assured, whilst the freshness characteristic of the vintage shines through. This is a measured, well-crafted Pauillac that rewards careful cellaring.
