Château Saint Pierre Saint Julien 4cc. 2022 1,5l
Château Saint-Pierre is a fourth growth in Saint-Julien and one of the smaller but highly regarded estates of the appellation. Deep gravel soils planted largely with cabernet sauvignon, plus merlot and cabernet franc, give naturally powerful yet elegant wines. The bouquet shows cassis, blackberry and dark cherry with cedar, graphite, tobacco and subtle spice. On the palate the wine is full-bodied and structured, but kept in balance by fresh acidity and finely chiselled tannins. A long, slightly smoky finish underlines its classic left-bank character and makes it a superb match for beef, lamb, game and aged cheeses.
14 months of barrique ageing with 60 percent new oak gives the vintage fullness, aromatic depth and cellar-worthy structure.
