Wine Enthusiast

"This is the second wine of Château Pibran, whose vineyards are located near the classified growths Mouton and Lafite. Structured and dense, it is a robust and powerful wine, brimming with juicy blackcurrant and generous tannins." (Wine Enthusiast 2015)

Rated Estate (2016 Guide) Selected (An estate or winery that impressed us with one or more of its wines, though we are unable to offer a general assessment of the style of its entire lineup)

About the estate:

Owned by Axa, this vineyard is ideally situated on a gravelly ridge, with such prestigious neighbors as Pontet-Canet and d’Armailhac. With the acquisition of Château Tour Pibran in 2001, the plot selection process allowed Jean-René Matignon and the teams at Pichon-Baron to choose the best plots for Pibran and to create a second wine.

Rated Estate (2016 Guide) Selected (Please note that this guide is a ranking, and as such, all the estates listed here—even those without a star—represent, in our view, the pinnacle of French winemaking.)

About the estate:

Located on the hillside between Pontet-Canet and Armailhac, Pibran was acquired by AXA Millésimes in 1987. Winemaker Jean-René Matignon, from Pichon-Longueville, crafts this wine, which consistently ranks among the elite of the crus bourgeois, characterized by a very classic Pauillac style that blends richness with tannic structure. Full-bodied, aromatic, and approachable early on, it ages well and with grace.
