Bordeaux Saint-Julien red - 75cl X 6 = €54 per bottle
Château Saint Pierre
Grand Cru Classé 1855
Vintage 2021
A note from Cave de France: A great wine from the Saint-Julien appellation, on the left bank of the Bordeaux vineyard, Fourth Grand Cru Classé in the official classification of 1855, which makes it one of the emblematic wines of this prestigious wine region.
It presents with a deep, dark colour and an intense nose where aromas of very ripe dark fruits - blackcurrant, blackberry and plum - mingle, enriched with elegant spicy, woody notes and sometimes violet or tobacco depending on the vintage.
On the palate, this Saint-Julien combines power and finesse: an elegant and well-integrated tannic structure supports a dense, concentrated body, with a vibrant freshness and a long finish, offering great ageing potential and evolving beautifully over the years, revealing complex nuances ranging from dark fruits to spices and deeper tertiary notes.
The estate is one of the smallest Crus Classés of Saint-Julien, with approximately 17 hectares of vines planted mainly with Cabernet Sauvignon, supplemented by Merlot and sometimes Petit Verdot or Cabernet Franc, rooted in the gravelly soils typical of the appellation.
It has belonged to Domaines Henri Martin since the 1980s and is now managed by the Triaud family, who make it a point of honour to work with meticulous selection of grapes and careful winemaking to best express the typicity of the terroir.
The estate, discreet but respected, benefits from a strong historical heritage and produces wines that are both powerful, elegant and deeply rooted in the classic Bordeaux style, capable of seducing both amateurs and collectors.
