The 2017 Château Pibran is a superb wine from the AXA stable (and a close cousin to Château Pichon Baron).
It displays a good colour—moderate to rich garnet with some lingering purple hues. The nose is sweet and inviting, offering aromas of currants, stewed plums, and hints of Ribena. On the palate, it strikes a balance between freshness and depth, with plenty of dark fruit flavours complemented by a soft to moderate mouthfeel. The fruit lingers nicely on the finish, and while the tannins are present, they are not overpowering.
This is a wine built to age for a couple of decades, yet it’s already a pleasure to enjoy, especially paired with venison or other hearty meats.
What the critics say:
"The 2017 Pibran is a juicy, absolutely delicious Pauillac to drink now and over the next decade or so. Sweet tobacco, cedar, licorice, mint and dried cherry add pretty aromatic top notes to round things out. The 2017 is not super complex or structured, but it is a wine of immense pleasure and sensuality. I loved it."
"Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, the 2017 Pibran gives up notes of redcurrant jelly, baked plum and blackcurrant cordial with ints of stewed tea, fragrant earth and new leather. Medium-bodied, the palate has great vibrancy, with bags of crunchy fruit and a soft texture, finishing with lovely purity."
