The 2023 Saint-Pierre (Saint-Julien) is packed with blackberry jam, gravel, lavender, dried herbs, spice and crushed rocks. There’s a ton of character here. Incisive tannins and bright acids pull it all together in style. Give this at least a few years to soften. Tasted two times. 04/2024

The 2023 Saint-Pierre contains no Cabernet Franc and it will not be blended into the Grand Vin henceforth. This has a bit more animation and vigor than the Gloria, precise and fresh with plenty of black fruit and a lovely graphite note underneath. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins but there is clearly more concentration compared to the Gloria (this was actually done partly in the winery). A touch of soy towards the finish completes an attractive Saint-Pierre. 04/2024

A strong effort, the 2023 Saint-Pierre unwinds in the glass with aromas of cassis, dark berries and incense, framed by a deft touch of new oak. Medium to full-bodied, rich and layered, with good mid-palate density, powdery tannins and lively acids, it's a classically proportioned Saint-Julien that will age with grace. The blend is 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17% Merlot and 3% Petit Verdot. 04/2024

I continue to love this château, and they've done well their 2023 Château Saint-Pierre (Saint-Julien), a blend of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17% Merlot, and 3% Petit Verdot, aging in 50% new oak. Red and black fruits, leafy herbs, iron, chocolate, and a kiss of background oak all emerge on the nose, and it hits the palate with medium to full-bodied richness, a pure, layered, elegant mouthfeel, ripe tannins, and outstanding length. It has the fresher, juicy style of the vintage but brings ample fruit and texture. 05/2024

Beau rouge noir intense. Nez très aromatique, fin, fruité et subtil, se développant frais et complexe dans le verre. Délicatement charnu en entrée de bouche, aromatique au milieu, le vin fond au palais. A partir du milieu, monte un gras fin jusqu'en finale où le vin s'achève juteux, sur des tannins enrobés. Assemblage : 80 % cabernet sauvignon, 17 % merlot, 3 % petit verdot. Degré d'alcool : 13,1° - pH : 3,68. Rendement : 38 hl/ha. 04/2024

Very refined and classy, with ultra-fine tannins and blackcurrant and hazelnut character, suggesting very pure fruit and precise picking times. Medium-bodied and chewy, yet caressing. 04/2024
