Country: France
Region: Bordeaux, Saint Julien
Grape Varietal: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot
Tasting Notes: The 2020 Château Saint-Pierre (Saint-Julien) looks to be beautiful, with a fresher, focused, yet still powerful style that fits nicely into the vintage. Lots of black and blue fruits, crushed stone, and graphite define the nose, and it's full-bodied, with a great mid-palate, ripe yet building tannins, and a great finish. It's going to need time to integrate its oak, but the purity of fruit, quality of the tannins, and balance are all spot on.
Food Pairing: Beef, Lamb, Poultry
