Saint Julien Wine - Chateau Saint-Pierre 2018

An intense and structured great Saint-Julien red wine

The estate

Owned by the Henri Martin estates, Château Saint-Pierre is a Saint-Julien Fourth Grand Cru Classé. Under the motivation by the dynamic Henri Martin, the Château Saint-Pierre vineyard has been diligently rebuilt to the way it existed in 1855. This estate now features among the most famous Grand Cru Classés of this emblematic appellation.

The vineyard

Château Saint-Pierre is a Saint-Julien wine, from a vineyard that stretches across a surface area of 17 hectares.

The wine

2018 is the first vintage developed from the estate with new technical facilities, notably a new vertical press.

The vintage

After a turbulent start to the year, 2018 will be remembered as a prodigy year. The great weather conditions of the summer advanced perfect ripening of the grapes with a high concentration of aromas and anthocyanins. The harvest began without a hitch on 20 September and ended on 1 October. 2018 also marked the inauguration of a new vertical press for Château Saint-Pierre.

Blend

Château Saint-Pierre 2018 is produced from a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.
