Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider

The Wine Independent

The nose is fruity, gourmet, fine and quite generous. It reveals notes of plum, blackberry and slight notes of cassis associated with touches of red fruit jam as well as a toasted hint and a discreet hint of chocolate. The palate is fruity, sleek, mineral, precise, racy as well as offers tension, a silky matter, a nice texture, a good tannic structure and a fine grain. In the mouth this wine expresses notes of blackberry, cassis and slight notes of plum associated with a hint of wild red fruits, a touch of toasted oak as well as discreet hints of spices (cinnamon, cloves). Tannins are fine and slightly firm. Good length and good persistence with a hint of cocoa, a discreet roasted hint and toasted hint. The finish is quite suave.

Robert Parker Wine Advocate

The 2015 Saint-Pierre is a blend of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 19% Merlot and 6% Cabernet Franc matured for 14 months in 50% new and 50% one-year-old barrels. Deep garnet-purple in color, it offers expressive blackberries, black currants and stewed black plums on the nose with suggestions of menthol, rare beef, black olives and tobacco. Medium-bodied and tautly structured with ripe, grainy tannins and a lively backbone with vibrant, muscular form, it finishes long and savory.
