The 2020 vintage in the press:
La Revue du Vin de France (Guide 2024): 93/100 “Les Griffons, in which Merlot accounts for 50% of the blend, is even more refined and precise, with a crystalline quality. It benefits from perfectly calibrated ageing, serving explosive fruit.”
Vinous (N. Martin - December 2022): 93/100 “Les Griffons de Pichon Baron 2020 contains the Petit Verdot previously blended with Les Tourelles. The nose is intense, with graphite and chalk notes on black fruits, touches of black olive compote emerging with time, all with wonderful delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with fairly firm, saturated tannins, very pure, precise and balanced. The grip is gentle and the finish is bright and citrus-fresh, with blue fruit notes on the finish.”

The 2018 vintage in the press:
La Revue du Vin de France (November 2021): 93/100 “This cabernet-sauvignon-dominant cuvée offers admirable uprightness and great potential.

En Magnum (April 2020): 94/100 “Pichon-Baron is at the top of his game with this impeccable Griffons. Perfect balance in this sunny year, elegant and precise in its rendering of terroir. A model of its kind."

Bought in 1986 by the AXA group, initially under the leadership of Mr. Cazes (Lynch-Bages), Pichon-Longueville Baron regained its best form in the powerful and distinguished style of the great Pauillac. It must be said that a small half of its vines are located next to those of Latour, on a first growth terroir! For the Revue du Vin de France: "Pichon-Baron is at the top in the last vintages".
The 2021 vintage in the press:
La Revue du Vin de France (Guide 2025): 96/100 “It has digested its ageing admirably and is endowed with a luminous, radiant body, with lots of rebounding flavors on the palate.”

The 2017 vintage in the press:
J-M Quarin (October 2020): 96/100 “Dark, intense and beautiful color. Very aromatic nose, fruity, creamy and slightly truffled. Meticulous on entry, refined to the touch, very aromatic, the wine develops on a graceful general bearing. It melts in the finish, fragrant, long, sappy and very good”.
Vinous (A. Galloni - March 2020): 94+/100“The 2017 Pichon-Baron has become a powerful wine, even by its own standards. Black cherry, plum, chocolate, grilled herbs, licorice, new leather and spices blossom in a succulent Pauillac that shows the racy personality of the year.”
