critic reviews
Deep garnet-purple colored. Fresh blackberries and raspberries jump from the glass with touches of red roses, Sichuan pepper, and tilled soil. The light to medium-bodied palate is refreshing and lightly chewy with an herbal lift on the finish.
The 2024 Saint-Pierre (Saint-Julien) shows more refinement and complexity on the nose compared to its "sibling," Gloria, this year. Blackberry, crushed stone and light pressed violet aromas unfold in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with finely chiseled tannins, cohesive and poised, with a very appealing and sustained finish. This is a great success in the context of the vintage and could well present up to 20 years of drinking pleasure.
This is easily one of the better St Juliens of the vintage, filled with raspberry, plum and damson fruits, beautiful white pepper and sage spice, good lift and slate texture, really enjoyable. Vanessa and Jean Triaud owners, 29 hl/ha, first year organic certified.
