Without a doubt one of the best ways to find classic Bordeaux without breaking the bank is look for the top Châteaux and buy their second labels. Today we are offering the 2019 Griffons de Pichon Baron, a beautiful wine with its pedigree based in the superb terroir of the Deuxieme Cru Classé Château Pichon Baron.

From the great 2019 vintage, it isust beginning to open up and show its stuff. It’s loaded with deeply sceneted cassis, cedar, graphite, and gravelly stoniness, all the hallmarks of great Pauillac. On the palate it is rich, layered, and complexwith a hint of well integrated oak. It drinks great now, especially with decanting, and will for a decade or more to come.

The second wine of this great estate, the 2019 Les Griffons De Pichon Baron is a more Merlot-dominated release and is 59% Merlot and 41% Cabernet Sauvignon that saw 40% new oak. It has a gorgeous nose of ripe blackcurrant and darker cherry fruits as well as tobacco, smoked herbs, violets, and freshly sharpened pencils. Vibrant, pure, and complex aromatically, it's medium to full-bodied on the palate, has the vintage's pure, elegant character, terrific depth on the mid-palate, and outstanding length. It's a wonderful, already approachable Pauillac that will deliver the goods over the coming 20+ years.

Wine Enthusiast: 94 Points

The 2019 Les Griffons de Pichon-Baron was captivating en primeur. It is every bit as impressive today. A Pauillac of substance and depth, Les Griffons is super-expressive. It offers an exotic mélange of dark fruit, licorice, smoke and tobacco, with strong Cabernet Sauvignon inflections that lend savory aromatic presence. The long, persistent finish is exceptionally beautiful.
