Chateau Saint Pierre Description

Owned by the Henri Martin estates, Château Saint-Pierre is a Saint-Julien 4th Grand Cru Classé. Under the impetus of the dynamic Henri Martin, the vineyard of Château Saint-Pierre was gradually put back together to how it existed in 1855. The estate is now one of the most famous references in this emblematic appellation.

Château Saint-Pierre 2022 is a Saint-Julien wine with 17 hectares of vineyards. With ISO 140001 and HVE 3 certification, the Henri Martin estates, including Château Saint-Pierre, are cultivated using integrated farming methods, with the use of organic and bio-control products.

Château Saint-Pierre 2022 is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (80%), Merlot (12%), Cabernet Franc (6%) and Petit Verdot (2%).

Jeb Dunnuck: 98 Points

Blackcurrants, graphite, crushed stone, and liquid violet notes all emerge from the 2022 Château Saint-Pierre (Saint-Julien), another deeply colored, powerful, full-bodied Saint-Julien. Coming from 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Merlot, and the rest Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, it has a layered, elegant mouthfeel, beautiful tannins, and a great finish. It's going to stand with the truly greats from not only this terroir but the entire Médoc.

James Suckling: 97 Points

A posh, sophisticated St.-Julien that manages to maintain freshness, nuanced complexity and class in a hot year. In fact, this is one of the best Saint-Pierres. Layered and poised, with lots of minerals, dark berries and pencil shavings, followed by fresh, firm and polished tannins. The finish goes on for almost a minute. Really exciting, even for the 2022, when a lot of the wines from the left bank did really well. Drink from 2029.

Vinous: 95 Points

The 2022 Saint-Pierre (Saint-Julien), which has more Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend, is more opulent and primal on the nose than the Gloria. Blueberry filters through black fruit as hints of iodine and violet emerge over time. The medium-bodied palate offers sapid black fruit, fine-boned tannins and wonderful structure and purity. What I appreciate about this Saint-Pierre is that it is quintessentially Saint-Julien. Armed with a reassuringly long finish, this has immense potential.
