2016 Château Saint-Pierre • Grand Cru Classé • Saint-Julien

Description

Founded in the 17^th Century, this 4^th Grand Cru Classé was broken up and scattered as a result of several inheritances. In 1982, through a combination of luck and persistence, Henri Martin managed to re-form the estate as it was known in 1855, the year of the famous classification. Since then, thanks to the owners’ commitment, Saint-Pierre has become universally known as a perfect representative of the Saint-Julien Grands Crus Classés.

Tasting Notes

“The 2016 Saint-Pierre (Saint-Julien) has a serious bouquet with ample blackberry, cedar and sous-bois scents, beautifully integrated oak and real harmony. The harmony translates across to the palate, impressive grip, quite peppery in style, with a very linear, strict but compelling finish. Just getting started… Tasted blind at the Southwold 10-Year-On tasting.” [94 Points, Neal Martin, February 2026 ,vinous.com]
