Nez fruits noirs, bouche plaisante, souple, cacao, assez dense, bon milieu de bouche velouté, amertume du boisé, devrait bien évoluer.

From vines located between Vieux Château Certan and Le Pin (I’d call those good neighbors), the inky 2017 Château Saint-Pierre lends credence to the assertion that Pomerol was the star of the Right Bank in 2017. The first vintage where they’ve included Cabernet Franc in the blend, the 2017 has a rounded, voluptuous, even sexy profile as well as the classic damp earth, violets, and ripe red and black Merlot fruit that’s made this appellation so famous. It has plenty of texture as well as notable purity and elegance.

Robe rubis. Le nez se présente fin et racé, sur des touches florales et épicées. Le palais se distingue par une structure équilibrée, à la trame continue et à la finale soutenue.

The 2017 Saint-Pierre (Pomerol) is powerful, dense and super-expressive. Smoke, grilled herbs, leather and tobacco all give the 2017 its distinctive dark, somber personality. This is an especially virile style of Pomerol.

Complet et élégant, un cru discret, mais très bien situé sur le plateau pomerolais. A redécouvrir. Le cru discret de la famille Pradel de Lavaux, très bien placé sur le plateau de Pomerol (à l'ombre de l'église paroissiale), brille par sa finesse, son caractère à la fois crémeux et très élégant. La riche saveur offre des pointes florales lactiques. La forme de bouche possède beaucoup de classe.

Flowers, licorice, wet earth and plummy fruits delivered in a medium bodied, soft, polished manner. On the backend, you'll enjoy silky, ripe, earthy plums.

Stéphane Derenoncourt has worked for five years with this estate to bring it to its potential. Lying just between Le Pin and Vieux Château Certan, there was no frost here. Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2017 Saint-Pierre (Pomerol leaps from the glass with the most gorgeous violets and lilacs perfume over a core of blackberry preserves and blueberry tart plus hints of Indian spices and licorice. The palate is medium to full-bodied with bags of rich, perfumed fruit, supported by velvety tannins and just enough freshness, finishing long and fragrant. Only 3,000 bottles were produced this year.

This is very good for the vintage with no shortage of black fruit, which is enveloped by firm, grainy tannins and follows through to a medium to long finish.
