All-time Great 2016 Vintage Time In The Bottle
Superb Price To Quality Great Appellation Fantastic Wine!
The great Classified Growths of St Julienne in great vintages are some of the finest full bodied big red wines made. 2016 is an all-time great vintage, praised by critics as one of the finest of the century. The wines of St Julien were brilliant and the Chateau Saint Pierre 2016, which can be had at half to a third of the price of others, is right up there with the finest examples. Huge press, it has now entered its drinking window and can be enjoyed over the next 25 years. The Chateau dates back to the 17th century , today is owned by Henry Martin who also owns Chateau Gloria and have brought in Jean Michel Comme previously from Pontet Canet. This great offering gives the opportunity to experience the greatness of left bank, Cabernet based Bordeaux, from a great vintage with time in the bottle at a great price. This is Bordeaux at its finest without the price!

The most effortlessly brilliant vintage in St Julien, and Saint Pierre is right up there with the best of examples you can find. Smoky and sculpted, still chewy tannins, firm but confident, liqourice and campfire smoke that displays welcome and generosity – makes you want to pull up a chair next to the embers and grab a friend to share it with. The fruits are brambled hedegrow and crumbled blackberry, with touches of bioche and cream, along with bitter chocolate that adds definition. Mineral tingle to the acidities, and another wash of smoke as it opens. Jane Anson
The Cabernet comes through strongly on the nose as you would expect: quite intense black fruit, graphite and just a touch of dried herbs. There is lovely definition and focus on display. The palate is well balanced with grainy tannin, a crisp line of acidity, classic in style in keeping with the style of the vintage with very fine minerality and tension towards the sprightly finish. It is one of the most Pauillac-like Chateau Saint-Pierres that I have tasted, a very well crafted, almost understated but sophisticated wine that will age for 20 to 30 years. This is a fantastic Saint Julien that may well rest at the top of my banded score. Parker
