1 in stock
Description
Chateau Saint-Pierre is the smallest classed growth in Saint Julien but has a growing reputation for producing excellent, deeply coloured reds. It is part of the Chateau Gloria stable and often eclipses it’s more illustrious stablemate in blind tastings.
“The 2017 Saint-Pierre is medium to deep garnet-purple in colour. It leaps from the glass with notes of crushed blackberries, juicy black plums, and mulberries, plus suggestions of wild sage, pencil shavings, and lavender. Medium-bodied, the palate is coated with bright, crunchy black fruits, framed by grainy tannins and lovely freshness, finishing long and earthy. Nice”
95 Points – Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW, The Wine Independent, December 2022
“As with the 2007, you get a clear smoky edge that suggests the fruit was less full and ripe than in some of the bigger vintages. But this has a sculpted quality and plenty of raspberry leaf and violet aromatics, with cigar box and sage spice, and a ripple of grilled butterscotch. It may well close down for a few years, but right now, if you are wanting to drink a young vintage of Saint Pierre (or rather if it is all you have available to buy) this is without doubt the wine to choose. 50% new oak. Harvest September 18 to 26.”
94 Points – Jane Anson, JaneAnson.com, February 2022
