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

Decanter: "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."

Galloni: "The 2021 Pierre 1er is packed with inky dark fruit, chocolate, spice, new
leather and licorice. This racy, extroverted Saint-Émilion has a ton to offer. It's certainly not a shy wine, but all elements are fused together quite nicely."
