2017 Château Saint-Pierre, St Julien, Bordeaux

Description

This little gem hidden away in St. Julien once again stands out in 2017 as one of the “under the radar” quality vs price buys of the vintage. An initially tight and reticent nose gives way to blackcurrant, with a hint of blackberry and garrigue. The concentrated ball of mid-palate fruit flows beautifully with blueberry on the palate into a seamless length. A real persistence on the end shows with a seasoning of pepper and spice.

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

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.
