ChateauSaint-PierreSaint-Julien

95/100 – The 2015 Saint-Pierre has a scintillating nose of brilliantly defined black fruit with superb minerality. You can feel the energy coming from this bouquet. The medium-bodied palate is precise and pixelated, displaying fine-grained tannin and wonderful balance, leading to an exquisite, detailed, almost Margaux-like finish. Utterly graceful. This impressed me so much just after bottling, far more than in barrel, and assessed blind against its peers, it represents a convincing argument that Saint-Pierre is becoming one of the go-to Saint-Julien crus. Tasted blind at the Southwold 2015 Bordeaux tasting. – Neal Martin, Vinous

17/20 – Tasted blind. Deep crimson. Minerally top notes on a nose of ripe black fruit – but much more classical than anything on the right bank. Very interesting wine with sweet biscuity charm. Long and fresh. Drink 2023-2040. – Jancis Robinson MW
