Discover the critically acclaimed Château Saint-Pierre 2016, a profound Saint-Julien Grand Cru Classé hailing from Bordeaux’s esteemed Left Bank. Crafted from mature 50-year-old vines, this exceptional vintage blends 73% Cabernet Sauvignon, 21% Merlot, and 6% Cabernet Franc, matured for 14 months in French oak (50% new).

Celebrated with consistent 96-point scores from top critics like Jeb Dunnuck and James Suckling, this collector’s wine unveils an intricate aromatic tapestry: think intense crème de cassis, black raspberries, fresh tobacco, dark chocolate shavings, and subtle violet undertones.

Distinguished by its monumental structure and flawless balance (noted by Decanter), this age-worthy Bordeaux investment promises exceptional evolution. While powerfully structured now, its polished texture hints at future elegance. Optimal enjoyment begins around 2024, with peak drinking extending through 2040-2050.
