Explore the refinement and character of Bordeauxs Left Bank with Domaine Henri Martin ‘Esprit de Saint-Pierre’ Saint-Julien 2014. This elegant wine is the second label of the esteemed Chteau Saint-Pierre, a Fourth Growth in the historic 1855 Classification, and it embodies all the finesse, structure, and age-worthy charm that Saint-Julien wines are famous for.
Crafted from meticulously tended vineyards in the heart of the Mdoc, this 2014 vintage is a beautiful example of what a carefully crafted second wine can deliver: approachable now yet true to its noble lineage, with the poise and depth that reflect the expertise of the Martin family.
Chteau Saint-Pierres roots trace back to the 17th century. Under the stewardship of the late Henri Martin, the estate was revived and restored to its rightful place among Bordeauxs top producers. Today, the Martin family continues this dedication to quality and tradition, producing wines that capture the unique gravelly soils and maritime influences of Saint-Julien.
Esprit de Saint-Pierre comes from younger vines on the same prized plots used for the Grand Vin. This means it benefits from the same terroir and skilled winemaking while offering an earlier-drinking style that wine lovers appreciate for its balance of freshness and Bordeaux character.
This classic Left Bank blend is typically composed of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, with smaller portions of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot enhancing complexity. Grapes are hand-harvested at optimal ripeness and vinified with great care to preserve fruit purity and structure.
Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats, followed by aging in French oak barrels for about 12 months, with a portion of new oak adding finesse and depth. The result is a Saint-Julien that beautifully expresses ripe fruit, polished tannins, and subtle oak integration hallmarks of the region.
Appearance: Deep garnet core with a slight ruby rim, reflecting its graceful development in bottle.
Aromas: Enticing bouquet of ripe blackcurrant, blackberry, and red plum layered with hints of cedarwood, dried tobacco leaf, and a touch of warm spice.
Palate: Medium to full-bodied with silky tannins and well-integrated acidity. Flavors of dark berries, black cherry, and subtle graphite lead to a smooth, lingering finish accented by earthy undertones and a whisper of vanilla from oak aging.
This is a wine that delivers immediate pleasure yet has the structure to evolve gracefully over the next few years.
Esprit de Saint-Pierre is a versatile partner for a variety of classic dishes:
Roast lamb: A perfect pairing for Bordeauxs rich tannins and earthy notes.
Grilled steaks or duck breast: Complementing the wines depth and supple texture.
Aged cheeses: Try with Comt, Gruyre, or a semi-hard sheeps milk cheese.
For the best experience, decant for about 3045 minutes to allow the aromas to open fully, and serve at around 6064F (1618C).
The 2014 vintage in Bordeaux is celebrated for its freshness, balance, and classic style. A mild growing season with a sunny autumn allowed for even ripening, producing wines with vibrant fruit, moderate alcohol, and a harmonious structure that showcases Saint-Juliens reputation for both power and elegance.
Noble pedigree: Crafted with the same care and terroir as the Grand Vin from a classified Fourth Growth estate.
Accessible luxury: Offers superb value and drinking pleasure at a more approachable price point.
Versatile and age-worthy: Delicious now and capable of cellaring for a few more years.
A true taste of Saint-Julien: Combining Cabernets backbone with Merlots plush fruit and finesse.
Add Domaine Henri Martin Esprit de Saint-Pierre Saint-Julien 2014 to your collection and savor a timeless Bordeaux crafted for elegance, authenticity, and sheer drinking delight. A beautiful expression of a classic vintage ready to enjoy and share for any occasion.
