Château Pierre "1er" (Grand Cru)

Saint-Emilion, Bordeaux, France

Varietal(s): 80% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc

This is a solid red with lots of blackberry, crushed-stone, pine-needle and iron character. It’s full-bodied with layers of ripe, chewy tannins that are polished and poised. Extremely well crafted. A top wine from here.

96pts. James Suckling
