    Château St Pierre, 4ème Cru Classé, St Julien, 2009

    Saint Pierre is one of the stars of the vintage and clearly an estate to follow. They have turned a corner and are producing fabulous wines with intensity, power, class and that are loyal to their terroir - we are fans... Notes of mocha, spices and crushed currants. A wonderfully charismatic wine full of fleshy cool cherries, chocolate liqueur fruit, framed with beautifully managed tannins. This really is elegant, poised and very complete. A wonderful surprise!

    Beautifully intense, grippy tannins, slate and pummice stone, crushed rocks, inky, cassis, bilberry, great quality and very much estate signature, this is seriously impressive, with fig, baked plum, bitter chocolate, fresh pomegrante and mandarin peel acidities.

    The 2022 Saint-Pierre is deep garnet-purple in color. After a swirl or two, the nose erupts with gorgeous notions of blackcurrant jelly, raspberry preserves, and baked plums, leading to suggestions of iris, fragrant earth, and black olives. The medium to full-bodied palate has a firm, grainy texture and oodles of freshness supporting the taut, muscular black fruits, finishing long with bags of grace and perfume. This is beautiful.

    The 2022 Saint-Pierre was picked 12-26 September at around 35hL/ha and matured in 48% new oak. It has an intense bouquet with black cherries, iodine and touches of blood orange. Delineated and focused. The palate is where the action is with gorgeous svelte tannins, perfectly judged acidity, harmonious, plush but not overbearing. Velvety toward the finish, yet there is real tenderness here. It actually is reminiscent of Las-Cases at the moment.
