Discreetly nestled in the heart of the Saint-Julien appellation, Château Saint-Pierre reveals a nectar of unsuspected charm. Archives dating back to 1693 attest to the existence of Domaine, which was then called Serançan. It was bought by the Baron de Saint-Pierre during the reign of Louis XV, and as a result of several successions, it was broken up and dispersed.
Then, in 1982, with passion and tenacity, Henri Martin reconstituted Château as it was known in 1855, the year it was awarded the title of Fourth Grand Cru Classé in the Médoc wine classification formalized for the Paris World Fair.
The Château Saint-Pierre occupies a 17-hectare vineyard, planted with 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc. The soils are gravel of Günzian origin, with sandy-clay subsoils. The wines are aged for 14 to 16 months in oak barrels, 50% of which are new.
The Second wine of Domaine is named Esprit de Saint-Pierre.
The Château Saint-Pierre is recognized as a perfect representative of the great wines of Saint-Julien: complex, round and deliciously aromatic.
A racy wine in the rarity of the great Saint-Julien wines of the Bordeaux Medoc.
The robe is purple with purplish reflections.
An iconic vintage with multiple qualities: a very refined presence of vanilla wood, small red fruits such as black cherry from Spanish Navarra with hints of licorice and toasted brioche.
Fragrances of cedar, cigar box and roasting.
Silky tannins and even more rounded with time with a final touch of mint.
A value to be kept in the cellar, bottle lying protected from light and noise with a hygrometry of about 70% with successive tastings until its peak.
