2016 Les Griffons de Pichon Baron Pauillac (Magnum)

The 2016 vintage showcases the meticulous craftsmanship of Pichon Baron.

The grapes – 52% Cabernet Sauvignon and 48% Merlot – are sourced from gravelly parcels near the Gironde estuary, perfect for developing complex tannins and intense flavours.

Following a rigorous selection, gentle extraction techniques, and a controlled maceration lasting up to 27 days, the wine matures for 18 months in oak barrels (60% new). This careful process preserves its elegance while enhancing its powerful structure, resulting in a wine both approachable now and capable of ageing for decades.

Tasting Note: A bold yet refined creation, the 2016 Les Griffons de Pichon Baron offers a dazzling display of Pauillac power. Deep, almost opaque ruby in colour, it teases the senses with fresh black fruits like blackberry and dark cherry, layered with subtle spices and delicate, toasted oak. On the palate, this wine is a symphony of volume and harmony, with juicy, creamy tannins that promise longevity. A magnificent choice for collectors or anyone craving a true Bordeaux experience.
