"A worthy representative of St-Julien!"
"A greater intensity than its neighbors in blind tastings, a sign of the vines' advanced age, but also with improved refinement in texture and aging, bringing it considerably closer to the appellation's second growths. Remarkable value for money. (Bettane & Desseauve) - Delivery in wooden cases is available for orders of 6 bottles of this wine (depending on the country and shipping method selected).

Wine rated 95/100
Rated estate (2022 guide) 4 stars (Producers of very high quality, the pride of French vineyards)
About wine:
A greater intensity than its neighbors in blind tastings, reflecting the advanced age of the vines, but also with improved refinement in texture and aging, bringing it considerably closer to the appellation's second growths. Remarkable value for money. Peak around 2034.
About the estate:
This wine, owned by the Triaud family, ranks among the best of Saint-Julien in recent vintages, sometimes even surpassing them in quality, thanks to its very old vines, averaging 50 years old, ideally located in the heart of the village. The wine, which has always been dense, tight and powerful, continues to gain in immediate elegance with each vintage, with better integrated oak and a texture from old vines that rivals that of the grands crus classés seconds, and even the premiers. It is one of the most perfect expressions of the appellation's originality, at prices that are still affordable.

Wine rated (2022 guide) 95/100
About wine:
The nose is very expressive, intense, floral, slightly wild with medicinal aspects, notes of coffee, leather, and cola. The texture is simply magnificent, with a chewiness found in many St-Julien wines, but here it is soft, generous, round, and fills the mouth in an excellent way. Then a deep core of fruit appears with black licorice, supported by excellent refreshing acidity and mentholated freshness. I really like this wine. The floral notes and fragrance that surround the fruit on the palate are also very present. This wine seduces with its rich fruit and spices. 2025-2043

About the estate:
This old vineyard (17th century) has had its dark moments, having been completely scattered following several inheritances. Henri Martin rebuilt it starting in 1982. The vineyard covers 17 hectares, planted on beautiful gravelly soil resting on a layer of clay and sand. Henri Martin's daughter, Françoise, and her husband Jean-Louis Triaud, who ran the estate, handed it over to their son Jean in 2016.

Rated estate (2022 guide) 2 stars (These very large estates, often blessed with fabulous terroirs, are must-haves which, thanks to their consistency and the excellence of their production, deserve a place in the cellars of discerning wine lovers).
About the estate:
This classified growth has long been the least known of the Saint-Julien vineyards. It was bought in 1982 by Henri Martin, owner of the famous cru bourgeois Château Gloria, who restored its terroir to its original state at the time of classification. His daughter Françoise, her husband Jean-Louis Triaud, former president of Girondins de Bordeaux, now assisted by their children, have, with the help of Rémi di Constanzo, the cellar master, transformed the cru in recent years. Equipped with high-performance winemaking tools, it seems to be gaining, vintage after vintage, the little purity that it sometimes lacked.
James Suckling
Wine rated (2022 guide) 96/100
About wine:
Very attractive and typical of the appellation, with aromas of blackcurrant, violet, and sandalwood that continue into a full body with layers of polished tannins and a long, flavorful finish. The palate is long and persistent. Classic structure. Drink after 2027.
Le Figaro vins
Wine rated (2022 guide) 95/100
About wine:
This wine has a beautifully deep nose, with aromas of black fruits (concentrated blackberries and small berries) and cinnamon, which evolves with great panache towards exhilarating, mysterious, mineral notes. The minerality persists on the palate, where you feel as if you are licking finely porous pebbles. A racy wine with controlled power. 2028-2047
Jean-Marc Quarin
Wine rated (2022 guide) 95/100
About wine:
Dark, intense, and beautiful color. Very aromatic, refined, fruity, pure, and subtle nose. Delicate on the palate, smooth in the middle, mellow, with body and lots of flavor, the wine lingers on the finish, sapid, long, with flavors of black fruit and fine tannins. It's very good.
The Wine Cellar Insider - Jeff Leve
Wine rated (2022 guide) 95/100
About wine:
Blackberries, red stone fruits, flowers, tobacco leaves, and red currants are the first things you notice. The wine is smooth, fresh, and creamy on the palate, leaving an abundance of vibrant, textured, rich, and sweet red and black fruits on the finish. This is a great vintage from Saint-Pierre. Drink between 2028 and 2050.
