📝 Tasting Notes:

 

The 2015 Château Saint-Pierre is a textbook Left Bank Bordeaux—structured, vibrant, and poised for a long life. Aromas of blackcurrant, cedar, graphite, cigar box, and a hint of violets rise from the glass. On the palate, it’s powerful yet elegant, with layered flavors of dark berries, plum, pencil shavings, and a touch of mocha. The tannins are fine and firm, with a long, polished finish.

🗓️ Vintage Insight:

 

2015 was a superb vintage in Bordeaux, particularly for the Left Bank. Warm days and cool nights produced wines of richness, structure, and balance. Saint-Julien, known for its harmony between power and finesse, excelled—and Saint-Pierre 2015 is a prime example.

🏰 Estate Note:

 

Château Saint-Pierre is a hidden gem of the Médoc, with just 17 hectares of vines. Despite being a classified growth, it flies under the radar, offering exceptional value and consistent excellence. Under the stewardship of the Martin family (who also own Château Gloria), Saint-Pierre continues to rise in esteem among critics and collectors.
