Over het wijnhuis | Met zijn twee karakteristieke torentjes ziet Château Pichon Baron er precies zo uit als je van een Frans kasteel verwacht. De geschiedenis gaat terug naar de 17e eeuw, maar het kasteel dateert uit 1851. Een jaar eerder werd het landgoed namelijk in tweeën gesplitst: Pichon Baron (ook Pichon de Longueville genoemd) en Pichon Comtesse (ook Pichon-Longueville Comtesse de Lalande genoemd). Baron Raoul Pichon de Longueville was trots op zijn eigendom en liet een imposant kasteel bouwen, hetgeen we nu kennen als Château Pichon Baron. |

Awards | "The 2022 Les Griffons de Pichon Baron is more Cabernet-driven, echoing the style of the grand vin, as opposed to the more supple, forward Tourelles. Offering up aromas of sweet dark berries and espresso roast, it's medium to full-bodied, velvety and layered, built around powdery structuring tannins." - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate "A plush but refined nose with sweet blackberries and cherries. Ripe and flavorful, this has restrained berries and fine tannins throughout. Long, firm and posh. 50% merlot, 66% cabernet sauvignon and 4% petit verdot. Drink from 2027." - James Suckling "50% Merlot, 46% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Petit Verdot. Cask sample. Fresh and Cabernet-driven on the nose with blueberry and cassis notes. Attractive mid-palate fruit. Tannins rounded and smooth but offer length and drive on the finish. Freshness notable. (JL)" - Jancis Robinson "The 2022 Les Griffons de Pichon Baron was very impressive from barrel. Now in bottle, it has a kind of unassuming bouquet that unfolds in the glass. This is very nuanced, with hints of black truffle filtering through the black fruit and a little sous-bois. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins and beautifully balanced with a fresh, slightly citric finish. I like the energy in this Les Griffons and it should age well in bottle." - Vinous "A solid version, with a packed core of blackberry, black currant and black cherry reduction notes wrapped in licorice root, bay leaf and violet. A growl of cast iron emerges through the finish, giving this a burly, earth-driven feel. Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot. Best from 2025 through 2036." - Wine Spectator "A firmly structured wine with solid tannins from the Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend. It is concentrated and full of black coffee aromas, black currant fruit flavors and a juicy aftertaste. Drink from 2028." - Wine Enthusiast "A touch of opulence to the nose in the aromatically expressive floral and dark fruit scents. Alive and open, this starts with a burst of acidity and pure strawberry flavour but the texture is the most appealing with density and richness - almost plush - but the motion keeps it from being too heavy. Lovely structure, feels well constructed and built with muscles and power underneath the lively fruit. Still more compact than Les Tourelles which would be great to enjoy now, this needs a little longer but will be worth the wait." - Decanter |
