"This 17-hectare estate has been rejuvenated by owner Jean-Louis Triaud and is certainly producing some of the top wines from the appellation today. I tasted the deep, inky-colored 2015 Château Saint-Pierre twice and it’s reminiscent of the 2010, only with more elegance. In 2015 the wine is a blend of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 19% Merlot and 6% Cabernet Franc and it spent 14 months in 50% new and 50% once used barrels. Chocolate covered dark fruits, damp earth, tobacco leaf, and lead pencil shaving-like notes emerge from this huge, concentrated beauty that has building tannin and a huge mid-palate. It’s an incredible wine that builds with time in the glass, has no hard edges and is going to 3-4 decades of life. Bravo!"

Product Description:

"The 17 hectare vineyard of Saint Pierre is planted to 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc. This shows a slight increase in the amount of Cabernet Sauvignon in the vineyards and an equal decrease in the amount of Merlot planted since the mid, 1990’s.

At 17 hectares, Chateau Saint Pierre is the smallest classified estate in the appellation. The vineyard can be divided into 4 main blocks with parcels spread all over the appellation.The bulk of their vines are located close to the village of Saint Julien not far from Chateau Ducru Beaucaillou and Chateau Beychevelle. The vine density is 10,000 vines per hectare. The property has old vines. On average, many of their vines are close to 50 years of age. The terroir of Chateau Saint Pierre is gravel, sand and clay soils." -Importer
