Chateau Pierre 1er 2020
| Wine Advocate: 92 |

| Deep purple-black colored, the 2020 Pierre 1er comes barreling out of the glass with bold scents of baked blackberries, stewed black plums and mince pie, plus hints of menthol, black olives and charcoal. The medium to full-bodied palate is packed with juicy black fruits, supported by finely grained tannins and bags of freshness, finishing long and layered. |

| Well-placed fruits, this walks through the palate with a careful step. It has chewy tannins and some expansive fruits through the mid palate - an enjoyable wine from owner Jean Dubreuilh. |
| James Suckling: 96 |
|---|
| This is a solid red with lots of blackberry, crushed-stone, pine-needle and iron character. It’s full-bodied with layers of ripe, chewy tannins that are polished and poised. Extremely well crafted. A top wine from here. |
| Jeb Dunnuck: 91 |
|---|
| Lots of truffly earth, leather, flowers, espresso, and assorted red and black fruits emerge from the 2020 Château Pierre 1Er, a medium-bodied, focused, straight, elegant 2020. It opens up nicely with time in the glass and has enough structure to warrant just a few years of bottle age. |
