Intro: Les Griffons de Pichon Baron is one of the second wines of the property. Created since the 2012 vintage, it has a pure and direct character.

Tasting Notes: The 2020 Les Griffons de Pichon Baron  reveals a deep purple colour. The nose is delicate with aromas of black fruit, subtle wood, tobacco and cedar. The
generous palate is fruit-driven and well-structured with ample tannins. The finish is long and powerful with notes of blueberry and black cherry. This wine is well-balanced, rich and harmonious with great freshness. A classic cuvée, very typical of Pauillac.
