Château Saint-Pierre, which received a mark of 90-92/100 from Parker, is ranked among the greatest successes in Médoc.
Controlling the ripeness of grapes as soon as the first signs of heterogeneity appear on the clusters, and using a light touch in the winemaking: the key to the success of this difficult vintage that is expensive to make is surely found in this painstaking work.
But Jean-Louis Triaud’s team, which is headed by Rémi Di Costanzo, its captain out in the field, has finished toiling and can now offer a Château Saint-Pierre worthy of its ranking. A perfectly mature wine in which the well-cared for fruit is fresh and intense.
Under the palate, notes of blackberries, flowers, leather and smoke create a harmonious and refined feeling for the wine lover, like a masterpiece with complex and blended colours.
In 2007, Château Saint-Pierre has a body that is denser than that of most of its peers, a density underlined by a very beautiful fineness.
Château Saint-Pierre 2007, which is more affordable than most of its neighbours, is definitely an excellent deal.
