About the Wine

Château Pierre 1er, once known as Château Croix Figeac, is a winery that blends tradition with innovation in the heart of Saint-Émilion. In 2014, the estate was renamed to honor Pierre Dutruilh, the owner’s father, a tribute that speaks to the family’s strong connection to the land and their passion for creating exceptional wines.

Situated on the prestigious limestone plateau of Saint-Émilion, the vineyard lies in the same area as the renowned Châteaux Cheval Blanc and Figeac, and just on the edge of the famed Pomerol appellation. This unique position provides the estate with a distinct terroir—rich, clay-heavy soils that create an ideal environment for Bordeaux’s legendary grape varieties.

The estate practices sustainable viticulture, ensuring that every bottle is crafted with respect for the land. With 11 hectares of vineyards, Château Pierre 1er produces wines with a rich history and a commitment to quality, making the most of the estate’s location and its combination of modern winemaking techniques and traditional practices. The wine is aged thoughtfully, with a mix of new barrels, one-wine barrels, and stainless steel tanks, resulting in a wine that’s both approachable and built to last.

Château Pierre 1er is not just a winery; it’s a tribute to the heritage of Saint-Émilion and the passion of its makers, producing wines that reflect the true essence of this renowned Bordeaux region.

Tasting Notes

80% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc. This wine offers an elegant balance between the rich, fruity character of Merlot and the structure and depth provided by Cabernet Franc. The 2022 vintage showcases ripe red fruit, soft tannins, and a fresh, harmonious finish. The wine’s smooth texture is complemented by a touch of spice, making it approachable now while also having the potential to age beautifully in the years to come.
