2016 Château Saint-Pierre from Saint-Julien
A refined Quatrième Grand Cru Classé from a legendary Bordeaux vintage
The 2016 Château Saint-Pierre ranks among the very best of Saint-Julien. As a Quatrième Grand Cru Classé in the famous 1855 classification, this historic château combines power, elegance, and precision in a style characteristic of the appellation’s finest wines. The exceptional 2016 vintage produced a wine with impressive concentration, silky-smooth tannins, and tremendous aging potential.
The blend is dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon, complemented by Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Thanks to ideal weather conditions, the grapes reached perfect ripeness while retaining their freshness and elegance. The result is a Saint-Julien with a refined structure, deep complexity, and an exceptionally long finish.
