Saint Pierre 2025 (3L)

93-95 Points, Antonio Galloni, Vinous: "The 2025 Saint-Pierre (Saint-Julien) is superb. Crème de cassis, graphite, licorice, cloves, lavender and inky dark fruit saturate the palate. Cabernet Sauvignon speaks with striking intensity from start to finish. This full-bodied, explosive Saint-Julien delivers the goods, big time. Tasted two times." 04/26

94 Points, Jane Anson, Inside Bordeaux: "Lovely wine, attractive with lift and bright fruits, great quality, sappy, a lot of slate and pumice stone, roasted coffee beans, intense and concentrated, plenty of ageing ability. Yield 20 hl/ha." 04/26

96-97 Points, James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com: "Exuberant dark fruit. This is structured, with a touch of cedar and polished, fine-grained tannins that are so sophisticated and run the length of the wine. Classy. 78% cabernet sauvignon, 15% merlot, 4% cabernet franc and 3% petit verdot." 04/26

92-94 Points, Neal Martin, Vinous: "The 2025 Saint-Pierre (Saint-Julien) does not quite possess the delineation or clarity of the Gloria this year, perhaps summer warmth just impinging on the aromatics more, quite high-toned and opulent. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins, powdery in texture, slightly chalky, but it coheres nicely on the finish. Good backbone and plenty of freshness, there is a dash of white pepper on the finish. Excellent." 05/26

94-96 Points, Jeb Dunnuck, JebDunnuck.com: "Cassis, violets, and graphite all define the 2025 Château Saint-Pierre, with some spicy nuance that makes it just a stunning, gorgeously textured Saint-Julien. It's incredibly pure and medium to full-bodied on the palate, with ultra-fine tannins and no hard edges. A blend of 78% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc, and 3% Petit Verdot aging in 60% new French oak, it has so much to love and will absolutely be an outstanding wine." 05/26

94 Points, Georgina Hindle, Decanter: "Really ripe and fragrant with some dried herbal accents. Lovely grip on the palate, filling tannins but really fresh and juicy giving a cool, minty, wet stone and blueberry aspect. Quite a crushed stone, chalky powdery texture, but it’s soft and not harsh at all. Has all the markings of a lovely wine and the tannins will soften over ageing. I like it. 4% Petit Verdot completes the blend." 03/26
