Devon Magee, JJ Buckley, February 2012

Garnet in color. Showing the classic complexity of a St. Emilion in early development, cedar, soy and damp earth interplay with mineral-laden. rich black fruit. Well-balanced, structured, and taut on the palate, integrated, soft tannins round out the finish and complete the portrait. Drink now with some decanting, or lay it down for up to another 5 years.

Wine Spectator, March 2009

Shows black licorice, black pepper and berries on the nose. Full-bodied, with a solid core of fruit and ripe, chewy tannins, but in balance. This has very stylish flavors. Should be nice to drink soon. Always excellent value. Best after 2012. 11,665 cases made.

About Winery

In 1929, three kilometres from the famous church tower of Saint-Emilion, a talented man of vision, Georges Mestreguilhem founded the family estates by purchasing Château Pipeau. His son, Pierre Mestreguilhem continued to enhance the estate, thereby confirming the spirit of the family.
Thus was born the real spirit of the lineage, from careful tending of the vines, to obtain optimum maturity. Thank's to strict wine-making rules, Château Pipeau imposed its style, with expressive fruit, an opulent nose of red berries, with great body, yet also softness.
