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 | "The 2020 Saint-Pierre is a rich, dramatic wine bursting with aromas of blackberries, blueberry liqueur, anise, clove and brown sugar. Medium to full-bodied, broad and fleshy, it's generous and enveloping, with a ripe core of fruit, succulent acids and powdery tannins that discreetly assert themselves on the finish. The wine's creamy, fruit-driven profile belies its comparatively moderate 13.3% alcohol." - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate "Attractive aromas of blackberries, plum skins, cloves, cardamom, dark chocolate, cedar and graphite. Some wet stones, too. Full-bodied, opulent and broad-shouldered. Structured and refined. It has a deep core of ripe black fruit covered with layers of plush and velvety tannins that linger for a long time on the palate. Really long and even. Try after 2027." - James Suckling "79% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc. Very deep crimson. Dark-fruited and cedary/savoury (from the oak?) and perhaps a touch minty. Not as richly fruited on the palate as I expected from the aroma. Smoothed, firm, chewy tannins. Could do with a little more freshness but it has plenty of depth and length. A bit stolid." - Jancis Robinson "The 2020 Saint-Pierre (Saint-Julien) is loaded with scents of blackberry jam, dried herbs, graphite, incense, espresso and licorice. This powerful, tannic Saint-Julien is going to need years to soften, but it is incredibly impressive in the early going. From barrel, the 2020 was quite unctuous, but today it has grown into a wine that marries opulence with classicism in grand style. the intensity of the Cabernet Sauvignon really comes through." - Vinous "This is excellent, really the most gorgeous balance of power, with dark blueberry juicy fruits and lots of liquorice. Excellent balance and a seductive overall frame. Great stuff - the tannins are pretty fierce though, needs time, will reward ageing." - Decanter |
