Founded in the 17th Century, this 4th 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.

Chateau Saint-Pierre Saint-Julien 4eme Cru Classe 2016
13.5% abv
“Aged for 14 months in 50% new and 50% one-year-old French oak and blended of 73% Cabernet Sauvignon, 21% Merlot and 6% Cabernet Franc, the deep garnet-purple colored 2016 Saint-Pierre leaps from the glass with exuberant Black Forest cake, blackberry compote and cassis with hints of cigars, earth and violets with a waft of iron ore. Medium-bodied, the palate has a firm frame of grainy tannins with fantastic energy and depth, finishing on a lingering chocolaty note.”
Lisa Perrotti-Brown – 30/11/2018 Wine Adovate
Made from a blend of three grape varieties typical of the Saint Julien appellation: Cabernet Sauvignon (73%), Merlot (21%) and Cabernet Franc (6%), Château Saint-Pierre 2016 is matured in oak barrels (50% of which are new).
Château Saint Pierre 2016 offers a classic nose but with a great aromatic power perfectly defined and delimited with abundant black fruits, graphite notes and a small herbaceous touch.
On the palate, this Saint Pierre 2016 vintage is balanced, the lively acidity of the wine being compensated by dense, granular tannins. It offers a classisically obvious style for the vintage, with a mineral touch and a very lively finish.
Château Saint-Pierre 2016 is undoubtedly one of the great St Julien wines of this vintage. Designed for long ageing, it will only reach its full potential in at least 20 years.
