The 2019 Château Saint-Pierre is a rich and deep wine, with aromas of baked blackberries, cedar, and mocha. It has a dense, chewy texture with hints of licorice, chocolate, and a touch of truffle. The finish is a little firm right now, but it’s well-balanced and shows plenty of potential. It’s a wine that’ll get even better with a bit more time, so if you can, give it a few years to really shine.

Expressive on the nose, so aromatic. The palate is so delicious - dense and structured, powerful and muscular but so well packaged. Uber glamour here. Real depth of flavour with lingering spice from the liquorice and sweet cedar, some bitter dark chocolate, floral touches and even soft savoury truffle aspects too. I love it, chewy almost balancing intensity with freshness and just such clarity that you know it's been well worked. Buy and hold on to.

Aromas of sweet berries, chocolate, walnuts and wet earth follow through to a medium body with firm, chewy tannins and a long, polished finish. Not the biggest wine, but shows finesse and subtle character. Better after 2025.

Deep purple-black in color, the 2019 Saint-Pierre (Pomerol) has pronounced notes of baked blackberries, cedar chest, prunes and mocha with nuances of mulberries, cinnamon stick and dusty soil. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is wearing a lot of cedar at the moment, lending a chewy texture to the baked black fruits, finishing a tad hard.

Winemaker

Located in the heart of the Pomerol appellation, a stone's throw from Saint-Jean Church, Château Saint-Pierre is an essential reference of the appellation. Château Saint-Pierre is renowned for its great Pomerol red wines produced with the focused attention of Stéphane Derenoncourt and Frederic Massie, both world-renowned wine-consultants. Silky, full-bodied and structured, the wines of Château Saint-Pierre are undoubtedly Pomerols built to age.
