2006 Château Saint-Pierre, St Julien, Bordeaux

Description

Ch. Saint Pierre is one of the smaller and lesser known properties with the appellation of St. Julien. Firm in structure, the tannins create a large frame, filled with rich, dark fruit and cedary oak hints. Opulent with a long finish which ends with a savoury hit. Beginning to show very well with a little well time to air, with perhaps 15 years of pleasure still ahead.

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.

Saint-Julien

Saint-Julien

St Julien is the smallest of the ‘Big Four’ Médoc communes although, without any First Growths, it is recognised to be the most consistent of the main communes with many châteaux turning out impressive wines year after year. The wines can be judged as much by texture as flavour, and there is a sleek, wholesome character to the best. At their very finest they combine Margaux’s elegance and refinement with Pauillac’s power and substance.
