The 2022 Saint-Pierre (Saint-Julien) is superb, just as it was en primeur. Inky dark fruit, new leather, lavender, licorice, spice and graphite infuse the 2022 with striking complexity and dimension. As always, Saint-Pierre (Saint-Julien) is a big, heady wine. There's certainly a lot of wine here. The 2022 is so vivid. 01/2025

The 2022 Saint-Pierre (Saint-Julien), which has more Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend, is more opulent and primal on the nose than the Gloria. Blueberry filters through black fruit as hints of iodine and violet emerge over time. The medium-bodied palate offers sapid black fruit, fine-boned tannins and wonderful structure and purity. What I appreciate about this Saint-Pierre is that it is quintessentially Saint-Julien. Armed with a reassuringly long finish, this has immense potential. 01/2025

Aromas of cassis, blackberries, pencil shavings and licorice introduce the 2022 Saint-Pierre, a medium to full-bodied, velvety and suave wine that's rich but integrated, concluding with a clean, gently tannic finish. A touch less flamboyant than this estate could be in the past, it's a more classical expression of this estate. 03/2025

Blackcurrants, graphite, crushed stone, and liquid violet notes all emerge from the 2022 Château Saint-Pierre (Saint-Julien), another deeply colored, powerful, full-bodied Saint-Julien. Coming from 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Merlot, and the rest Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, it has a layered, elegant mouthfeel, beautiful tannins, and a great finish. It's going to stand with the truly greats from not only this terroir but the entire Médoc. 02/2025

Couleur sombre, intense, profonde et jeune. Nez très aromatique, fin, pur, fruité et légèrement fumé, sentant bon le beau cabernet sauvignon. Minutieux en entrée de bouche et de suite très aromatique, précis, gras, parfumé et séveux, le vin caresse, se développe élancé sur le palais et s'achève dense, tramé et long. C'est superbe ! 02/2025

A posh, sophisticated St.-Julien that manages to maintain freshness, nuanced complexity and class in a hot year. In fact, this is one of the best Saint-Pierres. Layered and poised, with lots of minerals, dark berries and pencil shavings, followed by fresh, firm and polished tannins. The finish goes on for almost a minute. Really exciting, even for the 2022, when a lot of the wines from the left bank did really well. Drink from 2029. 01/2025
