| Classification | 4ème Cru Classé |
Dark ruby in colour, with tawny-pink hints around the edges but few signs of age visually even at 22 years. The tertiary notes are clear on the palate, with cigar box, tobacco, autumnal berries, saffron and cinammon spice that make for a full, nuanced and extremely moreish glass of wine. This has the grace and supple tannins of an older St Julien. You will find more concentrated 2000 vintages in the appellation at this point, but there is gentle confidence here, and a charred mint leaf finish. Great to drink now. 50% new oak. First year for technical director Remy di Constanzio, Eric Boissenot consultant, 55hl/h yield. Drinking range: 2022 - 2032 Rating: 94 Jane Anson, Decanter (Feb 2022)

Smoky and earthy, with copious jammy cassis fruit and sweet tannin, this is an excellent, full-bodied Saint-Pierre. The saturated deep purple color is followed by a persistent, concentrated wine with copious sweet tannin. Anticipated maturity: 2007-2020. Rating: 90 Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate, www.RobertParker.com (Apr 2011)
Moderately saturated ruby-red. Currant, chocolate, lead pencil and spicy oak on the nose. Nicely spicy in the middle, but less rich than it appeared a year ago from barrel. A spicy, minerally midweight whose firm tannins appear to be less sweet than those of the 2001. Rating: 87-89 Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar (May 2002)
