Note di degustazione
The 2016 Château Pierre 1Er has a serious floral streak as well as almost Graves-like gravelly minerality and underbrush notes. Possessing terrific purity of fruit, an elegant texture, and medium body, drink this outstanding Saint Emilion any time over the coming 10-15 years.

The 2016 Pierre 1er has a ripe mulberry and boysenberry bouquet that feels a little disjointed at this early stage. The palate is medium-bodied with chewy tannin, but a nagging greenness pokes out on the dry finish. The 2015 was better.
Plenty of ripe-plum and walnut aromas with hints of chocolate and leather. Full body, juicy fruit and soft, velvety tannins. Flavorful finish. Hard not to enjoy it now, but wait two or three years for it to soften. Better in 2023.
The 2016 Pierre 1er offers only modest depth and complexity. Angular contours, gritty tannins and vegetal notes remain, all of which leave the wine feeling quite narrow in construction. Tasted two times.
