"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)

Bettane & Desseauve
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 choice of vineyard plots allowed Jean-René Matignon and the teams at Pichon-Baron to select the best 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 very best of French wine production.)
About the estate:
Located on the hillside between Pontet-Canet and Armailhac, Pibran was acquired by AXA Millésimes in 1987. Winemaker Jean-René Matignon—of 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.
