Chateau Saint Pierre Esprit de Saint Pierre Saint Julien 2015
The estate was purchased in 1982 by the well-known Bordeaux personality and vintner, the late Henri Martin who restored the Chateau and brought modern improvements to the cellars and winemaking. The vineyard is 42 acres of mature vines located in the middle of the commune of Beychevelle, planted 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc.
The wine is a classic St. Julien blend of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot, and 10% Cabernet Franc. Esprit jumps out of the glass with notes of blackberry, currants, lit cigar, and asphalt. The gravelly notes show up on the palate with deep and sappy black fruit and brown spices with plum. Supple tannins frame the wine with a persistent finish. Enjoy it now through 2039.
Critical Acclaim
97 Jeb Dunnuck
This 17-hectare estate has been rejuvenated by owner Jean-Louis Triaud and is certainly producing some of the top wines from the appellation today. I tasted the deep, inky-colored 2015 Château Saint-Pierre twice and it’s reminiscent of the 2010, only with more elegance. In 2015 the wine is a blend of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 19% Merlot and 6% Cabernet Franc and it spent 14 months in 50% new and 50% once used barrels. Chocolate covered dark fruits, damp earth, tobacco leaf, and lead pencil shaving-like notes emerge from this huge, concentrated beauty that has building tannin and a huge mid-palate. It’s an incredible wine that builds with time in the glass, has no hard edges and is going to 3-4 decades of life. Bravo!
93 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2015 Château Saint Pierre is a blend of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 19% Merlot and 6% Cabernet Franc cropped at 48 hl/ha between 21 September and 7 October, matured in 50% new oak. It has a tightly wound bouquet with blackberry, raspberry and cedar, just a touch of pencil shaving surfacing with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with succulent tannin on the entry, quite tensile with a fine bead of acidity. This is not the most complex Saint-Pierre that I have encountered, although it possesses 2015's elegance and refinement. This will have more to give after bottling and may ultimately overtake Gloria. Tasted twice with consistent notes.

This wine has a very toasty style, with spice and wood tannins that give an extracted character with some bitterness. That contrasts with the fruit that is developing, and it seems that the wood will integrate over time. Drink from 2025.
