Dark berry and currant fruit drive Chateau Pichon-Longueville Baron Les Griffons de Pichon Baron 2024, layered with hints of cherry, cocoa, graphite and a gentle floral lift. The medium to full palate is taut and juicy rather than massive, with fine, slightly grainy tannins and bright acidity giving a long, precise, sapid finish that speaks clearly of Pauillac and the higher share of Merlot and Cabernet Franc this year.

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.
