Chateau Pichon-Longueville Baron Les Griffons de Pichon Baron 2022 is a poised, deeply fruited Pauillac, layering ripe blackcurrant and blackberry with hints of dark cherry, violet, tobacco leaf and subtle spice. The palate is sleek yet concentrated, with refined, powdery tannins giving shape and lift to a long, pure finish that already shows impressive clarity but clearly promises more detail with time in bottle.

Les Griffons de Pichon Baron is the more structured of Château Pichon-Longueville Baron’s two second wines from Pauillac, created in 2012 and sourced mainly from gravelly plots close to the Gironde that particularly favor Cabernet Sauvignon. Typically a Cabernet/Merlot-dominant blend with some Petit Verdot, it offers a pure, vigorous and fresh expression of the estate’s muscular Pauillac style—full-bodied yet clean and energetic—with enough depth and tannic backbone to age for two decades while remaining approachable in its youth.
