2021 is delicate with white flowers that lead into a classic Cabernet-Sauvignon bouquet with aromas of blackcurrant, licorice, and lovely woody notes. The combination is elegant and refined. The attack is ample and fresh, the mouthfeel is taut and thick, wrapped in a pleasing tannic structure. Flavors of blueberry, ripe cherry, cedar, and mild spices joyfully enrich this powerful wine. It lingers at the finish, sappy with hints of licorice candy. 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. The grapes which make up this wine's blend come primarily from gravelly plots of land near the Gironde estuary, a good environment for Cabernet-Sauvignon. Les Griffons offers a vigorous and fresh tasting experience, full-bodied and clean, overflowing with energy.

Critic Reviews
Antonio Galloni
93 Points
93 Points, Antonio Galloni, Vinous: "The 2021 Les Griffons de Pichon Baron is another fine wine in this range from Pichon Baron. Soft and caressing, the 2021 offers up an exotic mélange of dark cherry, cinnamon, mocha, blood orange and leather. All the elements are impeccably balanced. (Drink between 2026-2036)" 02/24

92 Points, James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com: "This firm and racy cabernet-based red shows violet and rose-petal aromas and attractive currants. Medium-bodied, it’s juicy at the end. Needs three or four years to open. Best after 2027." 04/24

91 Points, Jeb Dunnuck, JebDunnuck.com: "Slightly more Cabernet Sauvignon-dominated, the 2021 Les Griffons De Pichon Baron is based on 45% Cabernet Sauvignon, 44% Merlot, and the rest Petit Verdot. It has a terrific blue fruit character as well as textbook Pauillac notes of scorched earth, graphite, and a touch of violets. With medium-bodied richness, an elegant mouthfeel, and quality tannins, it's an impeccably made 2021 that's worth seeking out and cellaring for upwards of a decade. (Drink between 2024-2034)" 04/24
