A Fourth Growth from the Médoc, Château Saint-Pierre 1996 showcases the finesse and structure of Saint-Julien in a vintage known for its aging potential. With nearly 30 years of cellaring, it now displays a rich bouquet of ripe blackcurrant, leather, cedar, and blond tobacco. The palate is structured yet smooth, with fine, integrated tannins and a refined finish.

Made from old Merlot vines and selected Cabernet Franc plots, the wines have a beautiful deep dark purple color. The nose is expressive, it offers aromas of chocolate, plums and sour cherries. On the palate, the attack is round and velvety, the wine is thick, with a nice discreet woodiness and very silky tannins. The finish is elegant.

Château Haut Marbuzet 2021 is a well-balanced wine. The wood is perceptible but well integrated, and the black fruit aromas are intense. It's a seductive wine that can be enjoyed both young and after a few years' ageing.
