🔎ChateauSaint-Pierre (聖皮耶堡) 創立於17世紀，是波爾多1855年分級中的四級莊。曾經歷過多次的繼承爭議與產權分割，在1982年，幸得到Henri Martin全權收購，讓這酒莊得以延續落去。

💁🏻‍♂️Henri Martin 曾任Saint-Julien的首長，同時也是中級莊(Cru Bourgeois) Chateau Gloria (歌莉亞) 的創辦人，Martin家族在波爾多地區從事葡萄酒相關行業長達三個世紀。然而，只專注一間列級酒莊的出品，始於是享利的人生目標。在收購Chateau Saint-Pierre後，Henri 傾盡全力與財力，試圖讓Chateau Saint-Pierre重返往昔的榮耀。雖然Henri在1991年離世，但他的釀造精神已傳遞到女婿Jean-Louis Triaud 👨🏻。在兩代人的努力下，昔日的威名不僅再興，ChateauSaint-Pierre更躍身為Saint-Julien的一個名莊。

🌱酒莊座落於Beychevelle (班舍維爾) 村中心，葡萄園佔地17公頃。園內葡萄滕平均樹齡為50年。以礫石為主的土壤，覆蓋在沙混合黏土的底土上。葡萄經手工採收，會送入傳統的溫控不锈鋼糟發酵，隨後移至橡木桶陳熟14-16個月，當中50%為新桶。酒款風格帶有Pauillac與Margaux影子，既有Margaux的完美細緻香氣，也有Pauillac般的豐富黑果口感。

This is fantastic, offering lots of fresh tobacco and blackcurrants and undertones of hazelnuts and chocolate. Full-bodied with firm and chewy tannins, yet ever so polished and refined. One of the most structured St. Pierre’s in years. A blend of 73 per cent cabernet sauvignon, 21 per cent merlot and six per cent cabernet franc.

Aged for 14 months in 50% new and 50% one-year-old French oak and blended of 73% Cabernet Sauvignon, 21% Merlot and 6% Cabernet Franc, the deep garnet-purple colored 2016 Saint-Pierre leaps from the glass with exuberant Black Forest cake, blackberry compote and cassis with hints of cigars, earth and violets with a waft of iron ore. Medium-bodied, the palate has a firm frame of grainy tannins with fantastic energy and depth, finishing on a lingering chocolaty note.

The 2016 Saint-Pierre has an intriguing bouquet of baked black cherries, dark chocolate, espresso and gamy notes, the oak regime more prominent compared to its peers within this Saint-Julien flight. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, and the oak is more assimilated here than on the nose. Nicely detailed and very poised, although there is a touch of dryness right on the finish. I suspect there will be improvement with bottle age. Tasted blind at the Southwold tasting.
