The 2024 Saint-Pierre (Saint-Julien) shows more refinement and complexity on the nose compared to its "sibling," Gloria, this year. Blackberry, crushed stone and light pressed violet aromas unfold in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with finely chiseled tannins, cohesive and poised, with a very appealing and sustained finish. This is a great success in the context of the vintage and could well present up to 20 years of drinking pleasure. Drinking range: 2029 - 2050 Rating: 92-94 Neal Martin, www.vinous.com (May 2025)

Good depth for the vintage, showing blackcurrants, dark chocolate and pine cones. Firm and fine-grained with medium to full body. Impressive length. Rating: 94-95 James Suckling, www.jamessuckling.com (Apr 2025)
This is easily one of the better St Juliens of the vintage, filled with raspberry, plum and damson fruits, beautiful white pepper and sage spice, good lift and slate texture, really enjoyable. Vanessa and Jean Triaud owners, 29 hl/ha, first year organic certified. Drinking range: 2030 - 2042 Rating: 92 Jane Anson, www.janeanson.com (May 2025)
The 2024 Saint-Pierre (Saint-Julien) is a potent, brooding wine. Blackberry jam, graphite, lavender, cloves, licorice and menthol are amplified in a dramatic, statuesque Saint-Julien that is all intrigue. The 2024 possesses notable depth and substance, but it's an imposing wine that will require cellaring. Tasted two times. Drinking range: 2029 - 2039 Rating: 91-94 Antonio Galloni, www.vinous.com (Apr 2025)
Château Saint Pierre
St Julien Quatrième cru 1855 At 17ha Château Saint Pierre is the smallest classed growth estate in St Julien. The name is derived from the Baron de Saint-Pierre who owned the estate at the tail end of the 18th Century. He left Saint-Pierre to his two daughters who, after running the estate together for a while, divided Saint-Pierre in two in 1832. The Dutch company, Van den Bussche bought both bits of Saint-Pierre in 1923 and re-united the estate. In 1982, Henri Martin (the man who assembled the Château Gloria from bits of vineyard purchased from various St Julien estates, including Saint-Pierre) bought the estate and he, and his daughter and son-in law Françoise and Jean-Louis Triaudand, have done much to raise the profile of this oft over-looked château. The vineyards are planted to 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc, with the wines being made at Château Gloria. Although renewed reputation has pushed the price up a little in recent years, Saint-Pierre still represents quite good value for some nicely made darkly coloured St Julien.
