gently offers up layers of complexity and enjoyment. At first the prototypical violet aromas wafting from the glass, followed by cassis and vanilla notes in excellent balance. The palate continues with blackberries, black plum, maybe turning to cedar and and earthy quality. The length is excellent and the acidity and tannins are in harmony. A very enjoyable wine from a weaker vintage, this could be held 3-5 but is very good already. --Mathew Hall

89 points Robert Parker: "Tasted on three separate occasions (consistently rated between 89 and 90), the 2003 could be called the “Cheval Blanc of Pessac.” Extremely aromatic, it offers smoky, earthy, sweet black cherry, plum, and fig-like notes as well as a sweet, round mouthfeel, medium body, delicate tannins, a fragile constitution, and beautiful complexity. Irresistible at present, if it puts on weight, it will merit an outstanding rating. Anticipated maturity: now-2017." (04/06) Decanted for 2 hours. Engaging nose with signature Cab Franc notes of violet, herbaceous, green bell pepper, some tobacco and leather. Then there are underlying darker earth, liquorice, graphite nuances all wrapped by bright ripe fruits of blackberry, blackcherry , blueberry and spicy, sweet toasty oak resembling sandal wood. Medium body, very fresh and elegant. Exceptional focus on palate. Multi-dimesional and complex. More chocolate, truffle, minerality and Asian spices emerged. --Stephen Chan

This 2014 is their classic blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cinsault, and Carignan grown in gravelly soils at high elevations. These elevations temper the otherwise arid Mediterranean climate of the Bekaa Valley. Additionally, some of the vines here date back to the 1930s and all yields are EXTREMELY low. Because conditions were so hot and arid in 2014, harvest was carried out as meticulously as ever before: Musar had four separate teams combing their vines simultaneously! In the winery, the grapes underwent a long, varietal-separate, natural fermentation in concrete vessels for six months before being transferred into French oak barrels for one year. The individual varietal wines were then blended together in 2016 and sent into concrete yet again before an unfined and unfiltered bottling in July of 2017.

"Solid, with ample iron and briar notes layering the dark currant and blackberry fruit flavors. Offers a sappy feel for the vintage, with brambly tannins holding the finish." - Wine Spectator"Dark red cherry, plum, spicecake and crushed flowers are some of the many notes that meld together in the 2013 Pichon Baron. Silky and resonant in the glass, the 2013 impresses for its texture and soft, enveloping personality. While there is plenty of early appeal, the 2013 has more than enough brightness and acidity to suggest it will age gracefully. The 2013 Pichon Baron brings together a classic sense of structure with a modern and very pure expression of fruit. The blend is 82% Cabernet Sauvignon and 18% Merlot." - Antonio Galloni

History The historic Château Croix Figeac, which became Château Pierre 1er in 2014, is a tribute to the owner’s father Pierre Dutruilh. Only the name and the label have changed. Thanks to the family meticulous work, the wine has gained in quality and fame. This is one of our gem! On the old village of Saint-Emilion, on the edge of the Pomerol appellation area, Château Pierre 1er aligns 11 hectares of vineyards in one piece. The Château is a family property since 1984. Terroir & Vinification Facing south on the privileged land of  “brown sands on graves”, the vineyard, with the large number of feet per hectare and an average age of 34 years, generates a high quality of wine at early maturity . The grape varieties are 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc. Harvesting is manual and is done in crates and great care is brought to the vineyard, thanks to a careful selection of vintages. Two more vibrating sorting tables, separated by a destemmer for a double selection of ripe beans without plant debris. All these operations are performed without pumping, gravitation or elevators. Fermentation (preceded by half the harvest of a cold maceration) takes place in thermoregulated vats for 27 to 35 days. The malolactic fermentation takes place in new barrels for 50% of the harvest. Then, the aging is done in new barrels and barrels of 1 year old. The duration of the breeding varies according to the batches, from 12 to 16 months with temporary aging on lees. Tasting At the tasting, Pierre 1er offers a fruity and rich wine, typical of Saint Emilion by its composition. We appreciate its roundness and length in the mouth, for a wine that can be completed after a few years in the cellar.   Their Team Operators: Ch. And P. DUTRUILH Owner : Jean DUTRUILH Oenologist advisers : Michel Rolland & Julien Viaud
