Les Griffons de Pichon Baron Pauillac

Bordeaux

Pauillac

An excellent vintage to kick off a serious white wine, this has intense citrus, gunsmoke and honeysuckle aromatics that instantly signpost quality. Takes a beat on the palate before opening to show white flowers, lime, acacia, lemon peel, grilled coriander seeds, and a push and pull of steely acidity, taut yet with weight and impact. The vines for this wine are in Pauillac, on a cooler gravel sector of the Pichon Baron site, and are massal selected Sémillion from Château Suduiraut. Harvested September 11, fermented and aged in barrels for 9 months, on fine lees with regular stirring, no malo and new oak. Technical director Pierre Montégut. Excellent quality, strongly suggest looking out for this (there are just over 2,000 bottles in this inaugural vintage, so it won't be easy to track down). A buy.

Inside Bordeaux

Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2023 Les Griffons de Pichon Baron comes barreling out with exuberant notes of blackcurrant jelly, dark chocolate, and kirsch leading to hints of candied violets, fragrant soil, and tapenade. The medium-bodied palate delivers a good intensity of crunchy black fruit flavors supported by grainy tannins and well-knit acidity, finishing with lovely purity. The blend is 57% Cabernet Sauvignon, 41% Merlot, and 2% Petit Verdot.

Deep garnet-purple colored. Charges out with ready-to-go notes of fresh black plums and black raspberries, giving way to hints of forest floor, rose bud tea, and graphite. The light to medium-bodied palate is racy and lightly chewy with delicate fruit flavors and a lifted finish.

A blend of 50% Merlot, 46% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 4% Petit Verdot, the 2022 Les Griffons de Pichon Baron is deep garnet-purple in color. It is a little closed to start, with subtle notions of juicy black and red plums, warm cassis, and forest floor plus a touch of clove oil. The medium-bodied palate has a lively line lifting the earth-laced black fruit layers, finishing with a touch of chewiness.

Expert

Duft av bjørnebær, sedertre, plomme, blyantspiss og jordlig toner. Mørk frukt med tydelige tanniner. God fylde og lengde, len trenger naturlig nok tid for å integrere seg pent. 

WSET 2

Les Griffons de Pichon Baron 2018 is deep garnet-purple in color. It prances out with showy notions of blackcurrant pastilles, wild blueberries, and plum preserves, plus hints of rose oil and chocolate box.

Ruby red. Violets, cherries, blueberries, cassis, spice and licorice. Fresh acidity. Cassis, blueberries, blackcurrant, spice and light toast. Layered and balanced. Structured with polished sweet tannins. Very long. Still very closed.

Amatør

The first vintage ever of this label, containing 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2012 Les Griffons de Pichon Baron has a deep garnet-brick color. It requires a little swirling to reveal notes of black currant jelly, blackberry pie, and menthol with hints of cigar box and pencil shavings. Medium-bodied, the lively palate possesses a good amount of remaining black fruits with savory accents and a bit of chewiness on the finish.

Magnum: Ruby red. Blueberries, cassis, licorice, anise, spice and light leather. Fresh acidity. Balanced and playful. Blueberries, crowberries, light toast and minerals. Balanced. Structured with polished sweet tannins. Very long.

Mørke modne bær, sjokolade og lakris. Fyldig og balansert frukt, men gode tanniner som rammer inn vinen og vil gi den et langt liv. En delikat syre som gir god balanse til vinen. Mange lag som bare vil utvikle seg mer de neste 10-15 årene.

Luftet i 3 timer.
Blir bedre og bedre i glasset.

Lukt: luftet intenst solbær og blåbær, mint, vanilje, pepper, lakris, mocca, tobakk. Deilig lukt. 

Smak: deilig innslag, bra konsentrasjon fra inngang som vokser i midtparti, deilig balanse.
Sitter lenge med lakris, mocca solbær/blåbær, mint. 
Nydelig munnfølelse. 

Mangler litt konsentrasjon til bedre score 

Deilig syre og bra tanninbitt.

Super klassisk med solbærblad, blyantkvess, og jordtoner. Med syre og flott balanse mot en høyest levende frukt  tanninene begynner å slipes av men her er det forsatt masse struktur og vinen er nok bare såvidt kommet inn i drikkevinduet. Men utrolig bra vin som
Nok blir ennå litt bedre

Hadde aldri gjettet at denne vinen er 25 år gammel. 

Frisk parfyme med hint av lakris, solbær, lær og sjokolade. 
Her viser Bordeaux muskler atter en gang. Fantastisk fylde, runde tanniner og lengde



Duft av lær, skogsbunn, solbær og sjokolade

Smak av bær, litt røkt, fantastisk fylde og lengde. 

Wow! Igjen!

Lys rød med en svakt brunet kant. Solbærblader, mørke mørke moreller, lett fin søt tobakk, grafitt, litt salvie og en menthol/ecalyptus note. Medium syre, deilig lett delikat frukt med en helt perfekt balanse. Nydelig kompleksitet og nye sanseinntrykk strømmer på i hver slurk. Medium+ konsentrasjon, lette delikate tanniner med en fin mineralitet. Lang pen utgang på nærmere minuttet.
