Château Pierre 1er is a vineyard located in Bellevue Saint-Emilion with an area of 11ha, on clay-gravel soils.
The average age of the vines is 36 years.
The grape variety is 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc.
The average annual production is 55,000 bottles.
The beginning of the year 2022 was marked by a mild, dry winter and an early breakup at the end of March unfortunately followed by an episode of heavy frosts (-7°) which had a strong impact on the volume of the harvest.
But a warm and dry spring/summer allowed a healthy and ripe production.
Château Pierre 1er waited until the grapes were dripping perfectly well; the harvest started around September 25 for a nearly perfect crop.
Comments of the wine : Very nice rich and balanced matter, a full mid-palate and a nice long and silky finish.
