Tasting notes

The dense, deep ruby/purple-colored 2011 Saint-Pierre is a more masculine wine in this light to mid-weight vintage. It reveals serious structure, tannin and meat, but whether or not it all comes together over the next 4-5 years is a legitimate question. With good purity and chewiness, it is a fuller, riper, bigger style, but it is not yet knit fully. There is plenty of potential, but only time will tell. Forget it for 3-4 years, and keep your fingers crossed.

Key characteristics

About this wine

Château Saint-Pierre produces this red from the Saint-Julien appellation in the Médoc, Bordeaux, from a traditional Bordeaux blend grown on the commune's gravel soils. Saint-Julien sits between Pauillac and Margaux, and its wines are known for combining structure with polish.

Expect cedar, blackcurrant and graphite notes over firm, well-integrated tannins, a claret built to age and to reward patience in the cellar. On board, it is a natural match for roast lamb, beef or game. Serve at 16-18°C, ideally decanted an hour before pouring.
