Critics’ scores and tasting notes
“This is a refined and silky red with aromas of fresh dark plums, berries and a touch of dark truffles. Medium- to full-bodied with lots of chalky tannins that are firm and chiseled. Structured, finely etched and long. 85% merlot and 15% cabernet franc. Drink now.”
Located in the heart of the Saint-Julien appellation on Bordeaux’s Left Bank, Château Saint-Pierre is one of the emblematic crus of the Médoc. This historic estate now belongs to Domaines Henri Martin. With its 17 hectares of vines, it is the smallest of the appellation’s crus classés, while enjoying a particularly renowned terroir. In 1982, Henri Martin, also owner of Château Gloria, acquired the property and patiently set about reconstituting the vineyard as it was at the time of the 1855 classification. Today, the estate is run by Françoise and Jean-Louis Triaud and their children, carrying on the Martin family legacy. The Château Saint-Pierre vineyard lies on a terroir of Günzian gravel over a clay-limestone base, typical of the Saint-Julien appellation. The vines, with an average age of around fifty years, are planted mainly with Cabernet Sauvignon, complemented by Merlot and Cabernet Franc. The wines of Château Saint-Pierre stand out for their elegant, harmonious style. They offer good concentration, supported by fine, silky tannins. On tasting, they reveal vibrant fruit with notes of spice and a subtle touch of oak. Structured and balanced, these wines have excellent ageing potential and perfectly illustrate the finesse and depth characteristic of the grands crus of Saint-Julien.
