2020 Chateau Pierhem

When I first met Pierre Emmanuel at the Vinexpo trade show he was a towering figure above the other Frenchmen around the room. He was in his mid 30’s and was still getting his feet wet in the business, and making great wine. Our first sip of his wine convinced us we had to have his wine in the club. We visited his chai and tasted several vintages from the barrel. We were blown away! In the last ten years we have watched him grow and become one of the top awarded wines in Pomerol. One of my favorite memories is the night I had dinner with Pierre Emmanuel and his wife, Marie, on a rooftop in St. Emilion with his 2009 and 2010 vintages. I see them every year, now with their two children, and I wouldn’t think of going to Bordeaux without getting at least one meal with them!
