Robert Parker Wine Advocate

Robert M. Parker, Jr.

The medium-bodied, tasty, flavorful St. Julien possesses soft, briery, berry fruit intermixed with herbs, earth, and spice box, which are moderately intense. The wine is low in acidity, with sweet tannin, and fleshy fruit. It should be drunk during its first 10-12 years of life.

Wine Spectator

Subtle and fine. Pleasant aromas of black licorice and berry. Medium-bodied, with fine tannins and a silky texture. Lovely red. Best after 2004. 5,000 cases made.

Weinwisser

Deep garnet-ruby color with a violet rim. A tremendous bouquet: Cabernet perfume, sour cherries, Amarena cherries, raspberry seeds, a gently jammy note—intoxicating and inviting. Full-bodied, almost opulent on the palate, with a buttery extract; again lots of primary, softly marmalade-like fruit, and a creamy, sweet finish. Enormous fun to drink—a Chambertin from St-Julien that will improve further as it reaches full drinking maturity.

René Gabriel

00: Very pale color, wide watery rim. Lean, drop-candy-like bouquet with milky/fermented notes. On the palate, creamy, smooth texture; supple, rather light but very well balanced, showing charm and a wonderfully red-berry finish. 15/20 2003 – 2010

Jean-Marc Quarin

Bordeaux-red color. Dark. Medium to good intensity. Lively. Nose of medium intensity. Slightly oxidative note. A soft, delicious attack on the palate, developing with a medium-bodied structure. The mid-palate is flavorful and still quite velvety. The tannins build slowly, with fine-grained tannins and a particularly supple, elegant mouthfeel. A nice, flavorful and subtle finish. I regret that oxidative note, which detracts from my appreciation.

A Saint-Julien Wine Combining Finesse and Balance

The Estate

Founded in the 1760s by Baron Jean-Baptiste de Saint-Pierre, Château Saint-Pierre is a historic gem of the Bordeaux region. Recognised as a fourth growth in the 1855 Classification, the estate underwent a complex history of division before being brilliantly reunified in 1982 by Henri Martin. Today, this exceptional property is run by his daughter Françoise and her husband Jean-Louis Triaud, together with their children. With its modest size, it stands out as the smallest and most discreet of the classified growths in its appellation.

The Vineyard

Covering a modest area of 17 hectares, the estate's terroir lies at the heart of the Saint-Julien appellation. The vines, averaging around 60 years old, thrive on deep, well-draining gravel soils resting on a clay-sandy subsoil. A rigorous plot-by-plot selection process is applied throughout the vineyard, which has also adopted environmentally friendly practices and achieved organic certification.

Grape Varieties

The estate's vineyard is planted with Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc.
