Château SAINT-PIERRE 2019

Description

Neal Martin 94-96 points www.vinous.com
The 2019 Saint-Pierre, the sibling of Gloria owned by Domaines Martin rather than the Right Bank estate, is an address that has rapidly become one of the go-to Saint-Juliens in recent years. The bouquet is exquisite: pure blackberry, raspberry and briary scents infused with cedar and hints of mocha, very well defined a little more generous than Gloria. The palate is fresh and detailed with grippy tannins. Very good structure here, a sturdy yet paradoxically elegant wine with a lip-smacking salinity on the long finish. Superb, absolutely superb.

Very deep purple-black colored, the 2019 Saint-Pierre comes shooting out of the glass with vibrant scents of crushed black and red currants, black raspberries and boysenberries with touches of lavender, tilled soil, pencil shavings and camphor plus a waft of red roses. The medium-bodied palate is charged with energy, featuring densely packed, muscular black and red fruits with a solid frame of ripe, grainy tannins and tons of freshness, finishing long and mineral laced. Make no mistake, this estate is on a roll!

The 2019 Château Saint-Pierre (Saint Julien) checks in as 79% Cabernet Sauvignon and 21% Merlot. It’s a big, rich, powerful wine loaded with notions of blackcurrants, smoked earth, chocolate, and violet notes. It shows more elegance on the palate and is medium to full-bodied, has beautiful tannins, and a terrific sense of freshness and purity. It’s going to need 4-6 years of bottle age yet will drink well for 30 years or more.

Pourpre violacé. Le bouquet de St-Pierre est dense et subtile. Il est marqué par des notes de baies noires, de framboises et de bois de réglisse. En bouche c’est l’élevage qui se manifeste à l’attaque, ce qui est assez classique pour cette propriété. Le vin a du corps et de la race grâce à des tannins bien enrobés ainsi qu’à une structure vive et rafraîchissante. Belle expression aromatique jusqu’en fin de bouche. Un St-Pierre prometteur, avec de la chair, du muscle et de la précision.  2025-2044
