From a mature vineyard just outside the Saint-Julien border (indeed, partly in it), and made with the same care as the other famous wines of this owner (the current mayor of Saint-Julien) – who in fact learned his craft at Chateau Latour. (He also hired his technical director from Cos d’Estournel, so it’s quite a team.)
The Wine Enthusiast, which prices this at $35, rates it equal to the Parker 97-point 2010 Saint-Pierre from Martin, saying:
Part of Domaines Martin, which also owns Château Gloria in Saint-Julien, this wine benefits from a classed-growth winery's attention to detail. The wine is rich, dense and structured. Its black-plum and blackberry fruits are rich, sustained by fine tannins and acidity. It's a wine to age, so drink from 2024.
As good as the Parker 97-point 2010 Saint-Pierre (which sells for $150).
It will certainly demolish any 2015 Left Bank Bordeaux at anywhere near this price you can find.
