2020 Château Pichon Longueville Les Griffons de Pichon Baron

Château Pichon Baron-Longueville has existed since 1694. Château Pichon Baron, Second Grand Cru Classé in 1855, is one of the historic vineyards of Bordeaux. A strict selection policy, in the vineyard and in the cellars, guarantees the elaboration of the Grand Vin, Château Pichon Baron, which represents the pure expression of this unique terroir.

The Les Griffons de Pichon Baron 2020 is a blend of 50% Merlot, 42% Cabernet Sauvignon and 8% Petit Verdot. It ages for approx. 18 months in French oak barrels, of which 50% are new. This label represents 25% of the total harvest. Deep purple-black in colour, it bursts with uninhibited scents of crushed black plums, ripe boysenberries and black cherry preserves, leading to nuances of ground cloves, liquorice and rose oil. The medium-bodied palate is packed with juicy black fruits and a soft texture, which delivers just enough freshness to lift the long, energetic finish. Perfect value for money and the wine has received well over 90 points from all wine critics, while this is 25% of the price of its big brother, the Pichon Longueville.
