Tasting note

碧尚男爵二牌2019是酒莊年輕又有力的第二酒款，色澤深紫，香氣以黑莓與黑醋栗為主，並帶出黑巧克力、咖啡與煙草箱的細緻香氛。入口飽滿，單寧結構分明但細緻，有緊實的礦物感與清爽張力，餘韻滑順且持久。此酒的果實成熟度與單寧質地來自靠近吉倫河口的礫石地塊，葡萄於九月底至十月採收，18個月橡木桶陳年（60%新桶）使香料與木質調和進酒體，而非蓋過果味。整體口感既有力量也保有優雅，開瓶醒酒一小時左右最能展現層次；若想留酒更久，這瓶也有良好的陳年潛力。

Les Griffons de Pichon Baron 2019 is the estate's vibrant second wine: concentrated, structured and unusually expressive for a youth. The colour is deep purple; the nose opens with ripe black fruits—blackcurrant and blackberry—layered with dark chocolate, espresso roast and a subtle cigar-box oak. On the palate the wine is generous and full, carrying firm, fine-grained tannins and a taut mineral spine that keeps the energy taut and focused. Oak influence is evident but well integrated after 18 months' élevage in barrels (60% new), lending spice and cedar rather than dominance. The terroir shows through as a precise, gravelly minerality, a result of plots near the Gironde estuary and careful viticulture. Drink now with at least an hour of decanting for more open fruit, or cellar for years—this cuvée can evolve gracefully through the 2030s. Winemaking highlights: hand-harvested late September–October, matured 18 months in predominantly new oak, selected parcels vinified to mirror the estate’s signature structure.

Winery

碧尚男爵（Pichon-Longueville Baron）為波亞克的經典莊園，現由AXA Millésimes管理。酒莊以穩健的傳統風格與現代栽培技術並重著稱。二牌Les Griffons自2012年起問世，定位為更直接、易飲卻保持莊園風格的作品。田間管理注重分地塊栽培與成熟度掌握，採用人工採收，並以選擇性桶陳（18個月，60%新桶）來雕塑香氣與口感，使果實、礦物與單寧達到平衡。

Chateau Pichon-Longueville Baron is a historic Pauillac estate now owned by AXA Millésimes. Famous for its precise, classically structured wines, the property combines long-established cellar savoir-faire with modern viticulture. Les Griffons de Pichon Baron was created in 2012 as the estate's second wine — designed to offer a more approachable expression while reflecting the gravelly, estuary-influenced terroirs of the domain. Under technical leadership and a dedicated team, including winemaker Alexandra Lebossé and viticulturist Aymeric Hervy, the winery focuses on parcel selection, careful harvest timing and barrel élevage to balance power and finesse.
