‘Les Griffons’ is a new addition to Château Pichon-Longueville Baron’s portfolio, a Second Growth wine estate situated in the Pauillac appellation. Created since the 2012 vintage, it is sourced from the same vineyard plots as the Grand Vin, and is aged for the same length of time, but blended to achieve a softer structure. The 2015 vintage is a blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot, aged 60% in new barrels, 40% from barrels of one vintage for 18 months. A soft and velvety wine, with gentle, precise tannins.

Vinous
The 2015 Les Griffons de Pichon Baron is dense, powerful and quite juicy, with plenty of black cherry, menthol, licorice and smoke overtones nuances that all build in the glass. Polished and racy to the core, the 2015 is a terrific choice for drinking over the next decade or so.Antonio Galloni1st February 2018
