Chateau Saint-Pierre St. Julien 2015

Intense crimson. Focused nose of ripe red fruits with slightly spicy, menthol-like oak. Well-structured palate supported by a dash of exuberance. Fresh red fruit aromatics. Robust, focused and nicely crafted. Huge potential.

The estate was created in the 17th century although a number of legacies subsequently led to it being split up and dispersed. Through a combination of good luck and tenacity, in 1982 Henri Martin was able to put the estate back together the way it had been in 1855, the year of the famous classification.
