De neus is opulent met getoaste tonaliteiten als wierook, tabaksblad en cassis. Fijne eiktoetsen keren terug op de tong en veredelen het volmondig zwart fruit. Imposante rijpe tannine zorgt bovendien voor een cremeuze textuur. De rijpe concentratie in Saint Pierre 2019 vermijdt overdaad en belooft vele jaren plezier. Proficiat aan Jean-Louis Triaud en zijn kinderen Vanessa en Jean voor weer eens een bijzonder geslaagde Saint Pierre. Saint Pierre is duidelijk een rijzende ster in Bordeaux. Deze ernstige en eerlijke Saint Julien klopt veel van zijn collega’s in blinde degustatie. De wijngaard beperkt zich tot 17 hectare groot en is aangeplant met 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot, en 10% Cabernet Franc. Het assemblage is in dit mooi wijnjaar 2019 nog iets meer gemarkeerd met 79% Cabernet Sauvignon and 21% Merlot. De élevage gebeurt in 49% nieuwe eik en test 10% op amfoor. De familie Triaud wil op termijn tot 40% amfoor gebruiken. IN DE PERS 95 Neal Martin – vinous.com (Februari 2022) The 2019 Saint-Pierre has a little more intensity and ambition than the Gloria, offering intense blackberry, boysenberry, cedar and pencil box aromas; hints of iodine come through with time. The palate is medium-bodied, dense and saline, with sappy black fruit, fine acidity and hints of black olive lending complexity on the persistent finish. A great Saint-Julien. Drink 2025-2050. 94-96 Neal Martin – vinous.com (Juni 2020) The 2019 Saint-Pierre, the sibling of Gloria owned by Domaines Martin rather than the Right Bank estate, is an address that has rapidly become one of the go-to Saint-Juliens in recent years. The bouquet is exquisite: pure blackberry, raspberry and briary scents infused with cedar and hints of mocha, very well defined a little more generous than Gloria. The palate is fresh and detailed with grippy tannins. Very good structure here, a sturdy yet paradoxically elegant wine with a lip-smacking salinity on the long finish. Superb, absolutely superb. Drink 2025 - 2050. 94 Antonio Galloni – vinous.com (Februari 2022) The 2019 Saint-Pierre is a Saint-Julien of real substance and presence. Inky black fruit, gravel, scorched earth, new oak, espresso, lavender and menthol build into the wine's huge, vibrant frame. There's quite a bit of tannin here, so readers will have to be patient. Saint-Pierre is always a powerhouse, but it appears to be especially brooding in 2019. Drink 2027-2039. 92-94 Antonio Galloni – vinous.com (Juni 2020) The 2019 Saint-Pierre (Saint-Julien) is fabulous. Graphite, gravel, lavender and inky dark fruit are some of the many notes that emerge from this potent, tightly wound Saint-Julien that is going to require at least a measure of patience. The blend of 79% Cabernet Sauvignon and 21% Merlot results in a virile, tannic Saint-Julien loaded with potential, but also a wine that demands cellaring. 93 William Kelley - robertparker.com (April 2022) A fleshy, sensual wine, the 2019 Saint-Pierre bursts from the glass with aromas of cherries, blackberries, burning embers and subtle spices. Full-bodied, velvety and enveloping, it's seamless and polished, with a sweet core of fruit, melting tannins and succulent acids, concluding with a nicely defined finish. More overtly ripe than its stablemate Gloria, Saint-Pierre must be the most gourmand, immediate wine of Saint-Julien this year, and it's already drinking well on release. Drink 2021-2045. Owned by Domaines Martin, Saint-Pierre is situated just to the south of the village of Saint-Julien, on rather homogenous gravel-clay soils mostly clustered around the château—in notable contrast to its stablemate, Gloria, which is dispersed throughout the appellation on a variety of different soil types. This is an inherently riper site than the ensemble that constitutes Gloria, and that shows in a 2019 that's sensual and creamy, with a richer, more polished profile than the more classically proportioned Gloria. Winemaking, however, follows the same principles: vinification in stainless steel tank with regular but small pump-overs and at a rather low temperature of around 25 degrees Celsius, with extraction adapted in function of the maturity and quality of fruit, followed by élevage in barriques that are chosen with increasing exigence. So, if the 2019 is rich and gourmand, it's also supple and judiciously extracted. 94-96+ Lisa Perrotti-Brown – robertparker.com (Juni 2020) Very deep purple-black colored, the 2019 Saint-Pierre comes shooting out of the glass with vibrant scents of crushed black and red currants, black raspberries and boysenberries with touches of lavender, tilled soil, pencil shavings and camphor plus a waft of red roses. The medium-bodied palate is charged with energy, featuring densely packed, muscular black and red fruits with a solid frame of ripe, grainy tannins and tons of freshness, finishing long and mineral laced. Make no mistake, this estate is on a roll! 95 Jane Anson – decanter.com (Juni 2020) A powerful St Julien, bedded and knitted down with layers of cassis and bilberry fruits, crushed stone and baked earth, along with a gentler waft of tobacco and black pepper spice. Needs time to open, this is a confident wine with a ton of tannin, and will require a bit of patience but you'll be richly rewarded. 55% new oak. Drinking Window: 2028 - 2044. 92-93 James Suckling – jamessuckling.com (Juni 2020) This shows chocolate, hazelnut and dark-fruit character. It’s full-bodied and delicious already, maintaining a real sense of balance and harmony. 96 Jean-Marc Quarin – quarin.com (Juni 2020) 94-96 Jeff Leve – winecellarinsider.com (Juni 2020) 94-95 Terre de Vins – terredesvins.com (Juni 2020) IN DE WOORDEN VAN DE FAMILIE TRIAUD 2019 sera assurément un grand millésime avec des couleurs prononcées, des arômes complexes de fruits mûrs et une structure précise dans sa definition. Saint PierreSaint Pierre is een prachtige wijngaard van 17 hectare in Saint Julien beplant met 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot en 10% Cabernet Franc. De bewogen geschiedenis van Saint Pierre gaat terug tot de XVIde Eeuw. Hoogtepunt was het klassement als Quatrième Grand Cru Classé Saint Julien in 1855, maar nadien werd het versnipperd. Belgische wijnhandelaars wisten de verschillende percelen te herenigen in 1922 zonder echter de gebouwen te kunnen kopen. Het is pas in 1982 dat Henri Martin erin slaagde om wijngaard en Château in eenheid te herstellen. Hij had twee Châteaux: het ene verheerlijkt het goddelijke (Gloria) en het andere verwijst naar de prins onder de apostelen (Saint Pierre). Saint Pierre vertoont misschien tegelijk meer retenue en raffinement. TriaudVandaag staan Françoise en Jean Louis Triaud en hun kinderen Vanessa en Jean aan het hoofd van Gloria en Saint Pierre. Als schoonzoon van Henri Martin, is Jean-Louis Triaud verantwoordelijk voor deze vermaarde Saint Juliens, maar was eerder ook betrokken (in betere tijden) bij de voetballers van “les Girondins de Bordeaux”!
