Employing innovative techniques alongside centuries-old traditions, the winegrowers of Lussac Saint-Émilion, Puisseguin Saint-Émilion, Saint-Émilion and Saint-Émilion Grand Cru make wines that are packed with emotions. With their ruby colour and elegant bouquets the Saint-Émilion appellations’ wines are long, well-balanced and silky on the palate.

Lisa Perrotti-Brown

The 2022 Pierre 1er is deep garnet-purple in color. Cedar and spice box notes give way to a core of baked black plums, boysenberry preserves, and sauteed herbs. The medium to full-bodied palate is chewy and straightforward, with a savory finish.

Ripe, dark black and blue fruits on the nose with perfumed flecks too. Supple and lively, on the leaner side, straight and focussed with purity to the red fruits. Quite a tannic hold, fine but full and grippy, with a liquorice and graphite aspect that coats the entire mouth and shuts down some of the fruit enjoyment at this stage. Nicely constructed with clear concentration but the tannins are making the most of their time in the limelight right now. Juicy, cool and clean though with good freshness. Tasted twice and both times between 91-92 points. Rolland & Associés consultants.
