Château Pierre 1er 2016
The wine
Château-Pierre-Premier stands out for its suppleness, its elegance and its balance. It is produced with great care and passion by Jean Dutreuilh. After harvesting, the grapes macerate for as long as possible before an élevage of 18 months in largely new barrels. This Saint-Emilion can be enjoyed when it is young, revealing aromas of ripe fruit, flowers and toasted notes. It has a supple texture and a long finish with wonderful complexity.
About the Producer Pierre 1er
Perfectly situated between the Châteaux of Figeac and Cheval Blanc, Château Pierre Premier extends across 11 hectares in Saint-Emilion. Formerly known as Château Croix Figeac, the domain changed its name in 2013 at the request of the Château of the same name. Jean Dutruilh, owner of the domain, took the opportunity to rename it in homage to his father, Pierre. Today, he produces a wine whose quality never ceases to improve. The result of harvesting by hand and traditional vinification, the wine of this domaine is a confidential Saint-Emilion, produced only in small quantities, but with an unbeatable price to enjoyment ratio for the region.
