The 2023 Château Saint-Pierre (Pomerol) checks in as 87% Merlot and 13% Cabernet Franc and comes from property just next to Lafleur-Pétrus. Raised in 58% new oak, its deep purple hue is followed impressive aromatics of black cherries, cassis, graphite, and sappy flowers. Medium to full-bodied on the palate, it brings considerable mid-palate depth and has ripe, building tannins and a great finish. It's impeccably made and should easily be an outstanding Pomerol.
Lilacs, vanilla, cherry blossoms, and spice show along with chocolate-covered cherries, with a hint of Bourbon in the nose. Medium-bodied, elegant, racy, and refined, the wine focuses on its purity, length, and lift, instead of power, leaving you with a delicate touch of mint on the backend. The wine blends 90% Merlot, with 10% Cabernet Franc. 13.5% ABV. 10% of the wine is whole bunch fermented. Drink from 2027-2040.
This has a super-refined and silky tannin structure. Tastes pure and pristine, with notes of blackberries, violets and a touch of chocolate. Medium-bodied with a firm finish.
