Blackcurrants, graphite, crushed stone, and liquid violet notes all emerge from the 2022 Château Saint-Pierre (Saint-Julien), another deeply colored, powerful, full-bodied Saint-Julien. Coming from 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Merlot, and the rest Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, it has a layered, elegant mouthfeel, beautiful tannins, and a great finish. It’s going to stand with the truly greats from not only this terroir but the entire Médoc.

Varietal

Red Bordeaux

There are few regions in the world with stricter regulations in regards to wine production and grape varietals than those found in Bordeaux, France. Here, in the home of the world's finest wines, the type and quality of grapes used is of utmost importance, and the legendary wineries which work on the banks of the Gironde river have mastered the careful art of juice blending to find the perfect balance for their produce. Whilst there are six 'official' Bordeaux grapes, the two key varietals for almost every fine Bordeaux wine are Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, and with good reason. Whilst Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are renowned for their acidity and astringency, strong fruit and spice flavors and full body, Merlot grapes are notably rounded, soft, fleshy and lighter on tannin. The combination of these two varietals, along with a small percentage of (commonly) Petit Verdot or Cabernet Franc, is the perfect balancing act â€“ the two grape varietals cancel out each others weaker points, and accentuate all that is good about the other.

Appellation

Saint Julien

Saint-Julien, a revered appellation in Bordeaux's Left Bank, epitomizes the finesse and elegance of red Bordeaux wines. Nestled between Pauillac and Margaux, Saint-Julien boasts a remarkable concentration of classified growths, showcasing wines that marry power with refinement. What makes Saint-Julien unique is its well-balanced terroir—gravelly soils, proximity to the Gironde estuary, and a temperate maritime climate. These factors nurture the cultivation of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc, resulting in wines celebrated for their structured tannins, expressive aromatics, and age-worthiness. Saint-Julien's notable châteaux, such as Léoville-Las Cases and Ducru-Beaucaillou, exemplify the region's commitment to quality. The wines exhibit a harmonious blend of dark fruits, cedar, and subtle minerality. Exploring Saint-Julien unveils the essence of Bordeaux winemaking, where tradition and innovation converge to produce wines of timeless allure and sophistication.

#38 in Top 100 Wines of France, 2025. Wow, this is a milestone for this St.-Julien fourth growth. Huge depth, with striking uncoiled complexity and fine spices to the blackberries and cassis. Ripe but so deep, fresh and detailed. Full-bodied and super fine-grained, with a tight, dusty framework of tannins and great balance that would allow this to age well in the next twenty-plus years. A blend of 80% cabernet sauvignon, 12% merlot, 6% cabernet franc and 2% petit verdot. Drink from 2028.

The Wine Independent

The 2022 from Saint-Pierre is a whopping 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, with 12% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot. This has produced a wine with a dark and smoky nose, dense with rich fruit and oak, a brooding and savoury style. The palate continues in the same vein, with a dense, dark and brooding style of fruit, the flavours all Cabernet orientated with tar, liquorice, black pepper and white flowers, all set in a voluptuous texture, with a rich underpinning of dry and grippy tannins. The palate concludes with a wash of dark and salted fruits, followed by a flourish of rich tannic grip. A huge wine, structurally confident, with a tannic substance that will demand decades of cellar time, but so much character. An impressive, must-buy 2022. Tasted twice. The alcohol on the label is 13%.

Wine Spectator

Ripe and vivid, with plum, cassis and boysenberry notes spilling out. There's just enough singed apple wood and cast iron to keep this focused. Violet and anise accents chime in the background. A decidedly not-shy St.-Julien that captures this vintage profile nicely. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Best from 2027 through 2040. Tasted twice, with consistent notes.

Ripe and glossy, this has vibrant fruit with a heady spiced aspect alongside cool freshness. Lovely frame and structure, filling and wide but controlled with a lovely freshly picked strawberry juiciness. A touch powdery and mineral towards the finish, a chalky aspect lingers, but this has nice terroir markers and a calm confidence overall.

Wine Advocate

Aromas of cassis, blackberries, pencil shavings and licorice introduce the 2022 Saint-Pierre, a medium to full-bodied, velvety and suave wine that's rich but integrated, concluding with a clean, gently tannic finish. A touch less flamboyant than this estate could be in the past, it's a more classical expression of this estate.

The 2022 Saint-Pierre was tasted from two bottles, the first a little mentholé, the second much fresher and vibrant with blackberry and bilberry fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, not quite as complex as I might have hoped, but with satisfying density on the finish. Tasted blind at the Southwold tasting in London.
