Just arrived to us direct from the Chateau, this little gem of an estate neighbors Ducru Beaucaillou and Beychevelle in Saint Julien.

2010 Chateau Saint Pierre $125 bottle 97 Points Robert Parker “The final blend of 78% Cabernet Sauvignon and 22% Merlot has resulted in a wine of great power, stature, gravitas and density. The wine has a black purple color and a brilliant nose of scorched earth, creme de cassis, espresso roast, blackberries, truffles and licorice. Full-bodied, extremely powerful, yet with abundant sweet tannin, this stunning effort should prove sensational if given 7-10 years of cellaring. It should also last for 30-40 years. This is another brilliant wine from Jean-Louis Triaud, who is also responsible for the brilliant resurrection of the cru bourgeois, Gloria. This is one of the smallest estates in St.-Julien, with only about 6,000 cases produced, and even less were produced in 2010 than in 2009.” |

2009 Esprit de Saint Pierre $240 6pack
The second wine of Chateau Saint Pierre (which scored 98 points by Robert Parker in 2009 “The all-time greatest wine I have ever tasted from Saint-Pierre, Bravo!”)

| | ~•Chateau Saint Pierre•~ The estate was created in the 17th century although a number of legacies subsequently led to it being split up and dispersed. Through a combination of good luck and tenacity, in 1982 Henri Martin was able to put the estate back together the way it had been in 1855, the year of the famous classification. Ever since, thanks to the investments made by the owners, Saint-Pierre has been acknowledged by everyone as a perfect representative of the Grands Crus Classés of the prestigious Saint-Julien appellation. |
