Description

We’d already heard good things on the grapevine about the 2009 Ch. Saint Pierre and we were delighted not to be disappointed at our tasting. The enticing nose of warm red and black fruit leads to a palate of juicy, ripe mulberries with a lovely kick of white pepper at the back, whilst its freshness that counterbalances the sweetness perfectly. With purity to the fore, melting tannins and a resounding, persistent finish, the sheer class of this wine suggests this could be a property to watch.

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.
