The hallmark of a Saint-Julien red wine
The estate
Owned by the Henri Martin estates, Château Saint-Pierre is a 4th Grand Cru Classé from Saint-Julien. Under the drive of the dynamic Henri Martin, the Château Saint-Pierre vineyard, as it existed in 1855, was patiently reassembled. Today, this estate ranks among the most renowned references of this iconic appellation.
The vineyard
Located in the AOC Saint-Julien, on the left bank of Bordeaux, the Château Saint-Pierre vineyard spans 17 hectares of producing vines. Holding ISO 140001 and HVE 3 certifications, the Henri Martin estates, including Château Saint-Pierre, are farmed using sustainable practices, with the use of organic and biocontrol products.
The vintage
2020 began with a mild winter that encouraged early budbreak. Spring was marked by significant rainfall, as was May, whose mild conditions allowed for equally early flowering. The hot, dry summer weather generated substantial water stress, slowing ripening and delaying the start of harvest. Despite uneven yields depending on the plots, rigorous vineyard management combined with parcel-by-parcel vinification makes 2020 a vintage of exceptional quality.
Vinification and aging
Maceration lasts 18 to 23 days. Aging takes place in barrels, with a proportion of 50% new oak.
Blend
Château Saint-Pierre 2020 is a blend of cabernet sauvignon (79%), merlot (15%) and cabernet franc (6%).
