James Suckling: Exuberant dark fruit. This is structured, with a touch of cedar and polished, fine-grained tannins that are so sophisticated and run the length of the wine. Classy. 78% cabernet sauvignon, 15% merlot, 4% cabernet franc and 3% petit verdot."

Jeb Dunnuck: Cassis, violets, and graphite all define the 2025 Château Saint-Pierre, with some spicy nuance that makes it just a stunning, gorgeously textured Saint-Julien. It's incredibly pure and medium to full-bodied on the palate, with ultra-fine tannins and no hard edges. A blend of 78% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc, and 3% Petit Verdot aging in 60% new French oak, it has so much to love and will absolutely be an outstanding wine."

Lisa Perrotti-Brown: Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2025 Saint-Pierre slowly emerges from the glass with delicate, fragrant notes of fresh black and red currants and violets, followed by hints of graphite and wild sage. The medium-bodied palate is tightly wound and intense with soft-spoken savory and mineral-laced black fruit layers, framed by firm, grainy tannins and a refreshing line, finishing long and perfumed. This is a gorgeous, understated beauty! The blend is 78% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc, and 3% Petit Verdot. The alcohol is 13%."

The Wine Cellar Insider: Smoke, licorice, espresso beans, cocoa, and tobacco leaves create the perfume. On the palate, the wine is soft, round, fruity, fresh, and vibrant. The sweet berries with their enticing, zesty, creamy, and refreshing character really works here. Drink from 2029-2055."

Jane Anson: Lovely wine, attractive with lift and bright fruits, great quality, sappy, a lot of slate and pumice stone, roasted coffee beans, intense and concentrated, plenty of ageing ability. Yield 20 hl/ha."

Vinum: Rosenblüten, dunkle Beeren, mineralische Anklänge; delikater Gaumenauftakt, die Frucht ist perfekt reif, die Tannine sind fein, der Wein hat Harmonie, Frische und sehr gut verpacktes Holz, im Abgang von guter Länge, endet rotfruchtig und wiederum mit floralen Rückaromen. Eine Delikatesse sondergleichen."

Decanter: Really ripe and fragrant with some dried herbal accents. Lovely grip on the palate, filling tannins but really fresh and juicy giving a cool, minty, wet stone and blueberry aspect. Quite a crushed stone, chalky powdery texture, but it’s soft and not harsh at all. Has all the markings of a lovely wine and the tannins will soften over ageing. I like it. 4% Petit Verdot completes the blend."

Falstaff: Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Reife Pflaumen, Cassis und Edelholz, dunkle Waldbeeren, einladendes Bukett. Komplex, saftig, extraktsüß, reife, tragende Tannine, schokoladig-mineralisch im Abgang, ein facettenreicher Speisenbegleiter, gutes Entwicklungspotenzial."
