Château Saint Pierre, Saint-Julien 2016 is a classic example of Bordeaux's Médoc region, showcasing the renowned Saint-Julien appellation. The 2016 vintage is known for its excellence, benefitting from a warm growing season that enhanced ripening and flavour concentration. Typically comprised of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, sometimes with additions of Petit Verdot or Cabernet Franc, these wines are celebrated for their richness and balance. The gravelly soils of Médoc contribute to the structure and complexity, while state-of-the-art vinification techniques ensure quality and longevity. Saint-Julien is situated between the Gironde estuary and the Atlantic Ocean, offering a moderated climate with sufficient rainfall—a perfect combination for winemaking. Château Saint Pierre boasts a storied history and reputation for producing wines with elegance and depth, making it a standout in the region.
For pairings, consider serving this wine with rich meats to complement its depth and tannins. Dishes such as roast lamb with herbs, beef wellington, or duck with a berry reduction would harmonise beautifully. Traditional French cuisine, like a classic Beef Bordelaise or a cassoulet, would also enhance the wine’s intrinsic Bordeaux profile.
For optimum enjoyment, serve this wine at a temperature of 16-18°C (60-64°F). Decanting is recommended for at least an hour prior to drinking, allowing the wine to breathe and its bouquet to unfold fully. Begin your tasting with a visual inspection—observe its deep, garnet hue. On the nose, identify layers of blackcurrant, cedar, and subtle earthiness. Finally, savour the harmonious palate, noting the bold fruit, well-integrated tannins, and lingering finish.
