Producer Information

Château Saint-Pierre is a wine estate in the Saint-Julien appellation in Bordeaux's northern Médoc wine region, on the so-called Left Bank of the Gironde estuary. The estate is was classified as a Fourth Growth in the 1855 classification of the Médoc and Graves. The wine of the estate is dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon in-line with the cuvées of other Left Bank producers. The estate is named for Baron de Saint-Pierre, who owned the château in the late 18th Century, and built the reputation that would earn it the status of a classed growth. Archives in the region, however, date the establishment of the estate even earlier as a farm property under the name Serançon, with vineyards planted at least by 1693. During the 19th Century, the estate was divided in two, becoming Château Saint-Pierre-Bontemps and Château Saint-Pierre-Sevaistre. New ownership brought the two back together as Château Saint-Pierre, but several key parcels of the vineyards had been sold. One of the buyers was producer Henri Martin, who incorporated the bought vine parcels into his own Saint-Julien estate, Château Gloria. Martin eventually bought the entire Saint-Pierre estate in 1982, and it remains one of several Bordeaux wineries owned by Domaines Henri Martin.
