Château Saint Pierre Pomerol 2019
A confident contemporary expression of St Emilion, and on song here. Muscular rippled raspberry and loganberry notes, vanilla bean and grilled almonds, good tension through the mid palate. Enjoyable, if a little brittle. Great quality, tasted twice. The Cuvelier family is now minority shareholder in this, with Sophie Fourcade in charge and majority owner. They made no wine in 2017 because of frost, 40% of normal yield in 2018, and finally in 2019 a healthy 50hl/hl. Fully renovated cellar also, with twice as many vats as previously.
