Description
A Pomerol wine with powerful and melted tannins
The property
Located in the heart of the prestigious Pomerol appellation, the Château Saint-Pierre is a superb vintage from the right bank of the Bordeaux region. A beautiful reference of the appellation, for nearly 5 years, the new team of Château Saint Pierre led by the famous consulting oenologist Stéphane Derenoncourt and Frédéric Massie have significantly improved the quality of this vintage.

Vinification and aging
The aging process lasts 18 months in oak barrels.

Merlot and cabernet franc.
