Château Saint Pierre dates back to the eleventh century. Recent
rehabilitation work in the cellar have revealed vestiges of a church
dedicated to Saint Pierre that had belonged to Foulques, Lord Of
Les Arcs. This property and the land around it were bequeathed to
the Saint Victor Abbey in 1055. Handed down from father to son
for the past four generations, Jean-Philippe Victor now manage this
55 hectares vineyards that stretch from the Argens River up to the
foot of the Maures Mountains.
The nose is a rich blend of well water minerality, red plum skin, peach and strawberry notes. The palate is lush and creamy with forward tropical fruits, stone fruits, sweet peach cobbler and ripe cherry, balanced by excellent acidity and a dose of minerality. The finish allows the fruit back to the forefront as it slowly fades, like a glorious sunset over the Pacific Ocean. Benchmark wine.
