2005 Château Saint-Pierre, St Julien, Bordeaux

Description

This may be a modest chteau (although its selection of old gnarled vines are a good sign) particularly in the context of the great names that surround it, but it is hugely underrated, as the 2005 proves. Known for its power and muscle, in 2005 it has added the communes characteristic charm, extra ripe fruit and a very long generous finish. This will surely be one of the best value wines of the vintage.  Drink 2012-2025.

Critics reviews

Robert Parker 94/100
Possibly one of two of the most concentrated St.-Juliens (Loville Las Cases is the other), this 2005 shows wonderfully sweet tannin, a dense ruby/purple color, and lots of crme de cassis, licorice and spice. Full-bodied, opulent, and impressive, it is surprisingly soft, though it will certainly age nicely for 15-20+ years.Robert M. Parker, Jr. - 29/06/2015

About this wine

Château Saint-Pierre

Château Saint-Pierre is the smallest Classified Growth in St Julien. It was ranked a Fourth Growth in 1855, but over the next century it was broken up into smaller and smaller parts. It was restored to its original holdings in 1982 by then-owner Henri Martin, proprietor of nearby Château Gloria. Today, his legacy lives on through his son-in-law Jean-Louis Triaud, and Jean-Louis’s own children.
