  Juicy red plums, lemon zest, hazelnuts and chocolate. Medium body with supple, fine tannins. Balanced. Excellent structure and length, too.

  A brooding nose, before chewy tannins - which are immediately noticeable - fill the mouth with ripe fruit, but they have a nice delicacy and texture, too - almost comforting and totally harmonious once the initial texture settles, leaving a density of creamy blackcurrant and sweet strawberry. Lovely cooling elements on the finish - mint and eucalyptus. This displays structure, life, tannic power, fruit density, freshness and acidity. It's on the more overt side but extremely captivating and excellent overall. Tasted twice. Michel Rolland consultancy.

  Darker fruits, violets, chocolate, and a touch of chalky minerality all emerge from the 2021 Château Pierre 1Er, a medium-bodied, nicely balanced, and textured Saint-Emilion that does well in the vintage. It shows the fresher, crunchy style of the vintage, but it brings good depth of fruit and is going to offer pleasure. Barrel Sample : 89-91
