2024 Château Pibran

The 2024 Pibran, matured in 60% new oak, has a pleasant, light, Japanese wakame-scented bouquet with a hint of liquorice. It shows fine delineation, though not powerful. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly grainy tannins, fresh on the entry with a keen thread of acidity and graphite-tinged black fruit on the understated finish. Drink over the next decade. - Neal Martin (04/2025)

The 2024 Château Pibran is based on 54% Merlot and 46% Cabernet Sauvignon. Its deep purple hue is followed by solid aromatics of ripe red and black fruits, lead pencil shavings, and violets. Medium-bodied, nicely concentrated, with solid purity, and ripe tannins, it's a solid 2024 that will unquestionably offer pleasure. (05/2025)

Deep garnet-purple colored. Features notes of freshly crushed red and black plums and tilled soil, leading to suggestions of black olives, lavender, and bay leaves. The light to medium-bodied palate is pleasantly chewy with layers of herbal and red berry flavors, finishing with compelling freshness. (05/2025)

Notions of sweet plums, raspberries and cherries introduce the 2024 Pibran, a medium-bodied, soft and round wine that will be drinkable on release. - William Kelley (04/2025)
