Château Saint-Pierre - Saint-Julien - Red - 2013 :

 

Discover the Secret Jewel of Saint-Julien: Château Saint-Pierre

As a Fourth Classified Growth from the revered 1855 Classification, Château Saint-Pierre is often considered the 'insider's Saint-Julien.' This estate delivers a wine of remarkable consistency and quality, perfectly capturing the elegance and structure derived from the Garonne gravel soils of its fragmented, yet exceptional, vineyard plots. It’s a Bordeaux that offers both immediate pleasure and outstanding cellaring potential.

Tasting Notes (Classic Profile)

• Appearance: A striking, deep ruby with violet reflections.
• Aroma: A noble bouquet of ripe black fruits (cassis, black cherry), layered with notes of fine oak, cigar box, and a distinctive mineral, earthy undertone.
• Taste: Exhibits the trademark Saint-Julien balance-powerful and concentrated, yet wonderfully supple. The tannins are fine-grained and persistent, leading to a sophisticated, lengthy finish that lingers with nuances of dark chocolate and liquorice.

Food Pairing & Serving

This wine is best served slightly below room temperature (16-18°C). Decanting is highly recommended to allow the complex aromas to fully blossom.
