Why We're Buying
Imagine putting all your eggs (or, in this case, wines) in one basket. While that's a terrible investment strategy, it displays unflappable confidence. That's the thinking at Château Saint-Pierre, a fourth-growth Bordeaux wine estate with one truly exceptional grand vin.
Critics Scores

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!
