2016 Pierre 1er, St-Emilion

SKU #1299419 93 points James Suckling

Outer quote mark Plenty of ripe-plum and walnut aromas with hints of chocolate and leather. Full body, juicy fruit and soft, velvety tannins. Flavorful finish. Hard not to enjoy it now, but wait two or three years for it to soften. Better in 2023. Inner quote mark (3/2019)

92 points Wine Advocate

Outer quote mark The 2016 Pierre 1er is medium garnet-purple colored and delivers scents of kirsch, redcurrants and black cherries with suggestions of roses, powdered cinnamon and fallen leaves. Medium to full-bodied, the palate features a great intensity of spicy red berry flavors with a velvety texture and oodles of freshness, finishing long and perfumed. (LPB) Inner quote mark (11/2018)

89-92 points Wine Spectator

Outer quote mark This sports bright damson plum notes along with racy mint and savory hints before giving way to juicy raspberry and cassis accents that fill up the finish. Shows the racy grip of the vintage too. (JM) Inner quote mark (4/2017)

91 points Jeb Dunnuck

Outer quote mark The 2016 Château Pierre 1Er has a serious floral streak as well as almost Graves-like gravelly minerality and underbrush notes. Possessing terrific purity of fruit, an elegant texture, and medium body, drink this outstanding Saint Emilion any time over the coming 10-15 years. Inner quote mark (2/2019)

Additional Information:

Varietal:

Merlot

- A very popular red grape variety found in the great wines of St. Emilion and Pomerol. It is the most planted variety in Bordeaux, and it has also become an extremely fashionable red in many regions including California. Although it has a reputation to be smooth, and easy to drink when young, Merlot is also capable of producing extremely intense wines as well. It is often used as a blending agent with Cabernet Sauvignon.

Country:

France

- When it comes to wine, France stands alone. No other country can beat it in terms of quality and diversity. And while many of its Region, Bordeaux, Burgundy and Champagne most obviously, produce wine as rare, as sought-after and nearly as expensive as gold, there are just as many obscurities and values to be had from little known appellations throughout the country. To learn everything there is to know about French wine would take a lifetime. To understand and appreciate French wine, one only has to begin tasting them.
