Over het wijnhuis | Château Saint-Pierre is met 17 hectare de kleinste van de geclassificeerde châteaux in Saint-Julien. Hoewel al in 1855 geclassificeerd als 4ème Grand Cru Classé, is de moderne geschiedenis van Château Saint-Pierre pas begonnen in de jaren’ 80. Sinds die tijd maakt Saint-Pierre flinke stappen voorwaarts en worden er elk jaar zeer verrassende wijnen gemaakt. |

Awards | "A fleshy, sensual wine, the 2019 Saint-Pierre bursts from the glass with aromas of cherries, blackberries, burning embers and subtle spices. Full-bodied, velvety and enveloping, it's seamless and polished, with a sweet core of fruit, melting tannins and succulent acids, concluding with a nicely defined finish. More overtly ripe than its stablemate Gloria, Saint-Pierre must be the most gourmand, immediate wine of Saint-Julien this year, and it's already drinking well on release." - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate "Very pretty and typical for the appellation with aromas of blackcurrants, violets and sandalwood that follow through to a full body with layers of polished tannins and a long, flavorful finish. Lasts a long time on the palate. Classic structure. Drink after 2027." - James Suckling "79% Cabernet Sauvignon, 21% Merlot. Modest, low-key correct and dry, fully ripe St-Julien fruit. Pretty marked inky tannins with a hint of the sea. There's something just a little bit raw." - Jancis Robinson "The 2019 Saint-Pierre has a little more intensity and ambition than the Gloria, offering intense blackberry, boysenberry, cedar and pencil box aromas; hints of iodine come through with time. The palate is medium-bodied, dense and saline, with sappy black fruit, fine acidity and hints of black olive lending complexity on the persistent finish. A great Saint-Julien." - Vinous "Ripe and well-built, with a gentle, understated approach stylistically and a rounded feel, as warm earth, sweet tobacco and savory details permeate a core of friendly plum, black cherry and cassis flavors. Features a long iron note, which adds subtle tension through the finish. Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Best from 2024 through 2038." - Wine Specatator "Such an expressive nose, high toned, floral, a bit wild with some medicinal aspects, coffee, leather and cola notes. The texture is just gorgeous, there's a chewiness that you find in a lot of the St-Julien's but it's soft, generous, round and mouth filling in a great way. Then a deep core of fruits come in with black liquorice, underpinned by excellent cooling acidity and menthol freshness. I like this a lot. Great florality and perfume surrounding the fruit on the palate too. This has a seductive appeal with rich fruit and rich spicing." - Decanter |
