Chateau Saint-Pierre 4. Cru Classé Saint-Julien 2020 i trækasse

"96 points. The 2020 is one of the most accomplished and refined there is" - La Ravue du Vin de France
"95-96 points.  One of the best in a long time." - James Suckling 
"94-96 points." - Robert Parker

På trods af en historie, der rækker helt tilbage til 1693 og en fornem klassificering som 4. Cru Classé i St-Julien, er vinene fra Château Saint Pierre fløjet en anelse under radaren. Det skyldes måske, at slottet blev solgt i bidder og først samlet igen i 1981 af Alfred Martin, faderen til slottet nuværende ejer.

I dag begynder vinene herfra til gengæld at få den anerkendelse de fortjener, hvilket særligt skyldes stjerne-winemakeren i kælderen, Remi di Constanzo, der tidligere har lavet vine for 2. Cru Cos d’Estournel). Forvent store vine med stort lagringspotentiale.

Ved køb af 6 flasker leveres vinen i original trækasse.

Anmeldelser af Chateau Saint-Pierre 4. Cru Classé Saint-Julien 2020

96/100 La Revue du Vin de France
"The 2020 is one of the most accomplished and refined there is, with a mouth that impresses with its definition and dynamics. A great success in a very Saint-Julien spirit that will age beautifully."

95-96/100 James Suckling
"A firm, very structured wine from here, with intense tannins that are very polished and long. Pure fruit. One of the best in a long time."

"Deep purple-black in color, the 2020 Saint-Pierre bursts with baked blackberries, stewed plums and cassis, followed by hints of dried mint, chocolate box and tapenade with a waft of pencil lead. The medium-bodied palate is elegantly styled with impressive freshness and ripe, fine-grained tannins supporting the energetic black fruits, finishing on a lingering fragrant earth note. The blend is 79% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot and 6% Cabernet Franc, aging for around 14 months in French oak barrels, 50% new. The alcohol is 13.3%."

"The 2020 Château Saint-Pierre (Saint-Julien) looks to be beautiful, with a fresher, focused, yet still powerful style that fits nicely into the vintage. Lots of black and blue fruits, crushed stone, and graphite define the nose, and it's full-bodied, with a great mid-palate, ripe yet building tannins, and a great finish. It's going to need time to integrate its oak, but the purity of fruit, quality of the tannins, and balance are all spot on. Tasted twice with consistent notes."

94/100 Decanter
"This is excellent, really the most gorgeous balance of power, with dark blueberry juicy fruits and lots of liquorice. Excellent balance and a seductive overall frame. Great stuff - the tannins are pretty fierce though, needs time, will reward ageing."

93-95/100 Thewinecellarinsider.com
"Seductive, with loads of ripe, dark, fresh, polished, earthy, black currants, cedar, toasty oak, licorice and spice. The wine is soft, polished, fresh and focused, leaving you with layers of deep ripe fruits, a touch of coffee bean, cocoa and currants. This should age and evolve for 25 years or more."

93-95/100 Vinous
"The 2020 Saint-Pierre (Saint-Julien) is shaping up to be a jewel of a wine. Inky, rich and explosive, the 2020 possesses magnificent intensity from start to finish. Crème de cassis, lavender, spice, chocolate, licorice, graphite and menthol infuse the 2020 with striking depth. The 2020 is heady and unctuous, but not at all overdone. It is one of my early favorites in this vintage, within its peer group. Tasted two times."
