The 2024 Les Griffons de Pichon Baron is the more structured of Pichon's two second wines, revealing notes of dark berries, cigar wrapper and loamy soil, followed by a medium-bodied, taut and chalky palate.
The 2024 Les Griffons de Pichon Baron is redolent of blackberry, incense, licorice, scorched earth, tobacco and dried herbs. Cabernet Sauvignon takes the leading role in this serious second wine from Pichon Baron. This is the first vintage with Cabernet Franc but no Petit Verdot. Production is down a whopping 50%.
More intensity through the palate than the Tourelles, good quality with a fragrant grip and softly spoken black fruits. The fresh acidities of the year are evident, balanced by a floral wash and lift on the finish. No Petit Verdot in the blend this year, but excellent Cabernet Franc from a new plot. 3.62 pH, 50% new oak for ageing. Pierre Montegut technical director.
