Crafted largely from the estate’s older vines, it combines Cabernet Sauvignon’s structure with Merlot’s generosity, resulting in a wine that is both powerful and elegant. Introduced in 2012, Les Griffons was created to showcase the estate’s high standards in a second label of outstanding quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMakuprofiili\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the glass, the wine shows a deep, intense colour that hints at its concentration and depth. The nose is fresh and layered, opening with black berries, blackberry and blackcurrant, followed by subtle woody notes, a touch of caramel and discreet oak.\n\nOn the palate, it is full-bodied and fleshy, with firm, well-defined and powerful tannins that give the wine excellent shape and drive. The finish is elegant and precise, and while already enjoyable now, it has the structure to age gracefully for around 15 years in the cellar.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eViininvalmistus\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLes Griffons de Pichon Baron is made exclusively from selected parcels of the estate’s oldest vines, with around 35% of the production reserved for this cuvée. Depending on the vintage, the blend is typically 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot. The grapes are vinified using a combination of stainless steel tanks and oak barrels of different sizes, carefully matched to the fruit from each parcel, and the wine is then aged for 18 months in 60% new and 40% one-year-old barriques.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRuoka \u0026amp; tarjoilu\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a wine that pairs beautifully with classic Bordeaux-friendly dishes such as grilled ribeye, lamb, roast beef, duck breast or game with rich sauces. It also works well with mature hard cheeses. Serve at around 16–18°C, and consider decanting for 1–2 hours if drinking young to help soften the tannins and раскрыve the wine’s aromatic complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTuottaja\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChâteau Pichon Longueville Baron is one of the great names of Pauillac, with a long-standing reputation for producing wines of power, precision and longevity.
