The 2019 Saint-Pierre is deep garnet-purple in color. It prances out with showy notes of blueberry pie, blackberry preserves, and blackcurrant cordial, plus suggestions of vanilla pod, chocolate box, and cinnamon toast, with a touch of violets. Medium to full-bodied, the palate delivers amazing freshness and vivacity, with layers of energetic black and blue fruits and a very finely grained texture, finishing long and perfumed.

Very pretty and typical for the appellation with aromas of blackcurrants, violets and sandalwood that follow through to a full body with layers of polished tannins and a long, flavorful finish. Lasts a long time on the palate. Classic structure. Drink after 2027.

Violet-edged, with sculpted fruit and an enticing mix of precision and generosity, with classic St Julien balance. Great depth of fruit, crushed rocks, smoked earth, tobacco. Takes time to show itself, but there is sweet blackberry fruit here, and a purity of expression that has clear long-term potential. At this point they were working 15% organic, before switching to 100% the following year. 49% new oak. Harvest September 23 to October 4, Eric Boissenot consultant.
