The 2018 Les Griffons de Pichon Baron is a powerful Pauillac showcasing Cabernet Sauvignon's depth with aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, black cherry, graphite, cedar, tobacco, violet, and dark chocolate. Richly concentrated yet beautifully balanced, it delivers firm, polished tannins, vibrant freshness, and a long, refined finish with outstanding aging potential.
Food Pairing: Pair with grilled ribeye, beef Wellington, roast lamb, duck breast, venison, truffle potatoes, aged Comté, or braised short ribs.
94 Points - Wine Enthusiast
Dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon, this is one of a pair of second wines from this estate. With its classic Pauillac black-currant flavors and dense tannins, the wine is a slow developer. By 2025, it should show great fruits and a balanced texture.
92 Points - James Suckling
Blackberry, plum, cocoa and gravel aromas. It’s medium-to full-bodied with firm, fine tannins framing a solid core of spiced black fruit. Tight, mineral finish. Very fine and balanced. Try from 2024.
