Chateau Pierre 1er

Château Pierre 1er is a Saint-Émilion Grand Cru estate that operates across the right bank appellation, producing a single château-bottled wine from Merlot-dominant plantings typical of the region. The château takes its name from Pierre 1er de Castillon, a medieval figure associated with the Castillon area, though the modern estate is situated within the broader Saint-Émilion Grand Cru appellation. With an average price of $159 per bottle across 128 lots at auction and a range from $17 to $743, the estate occupies the mid-tier of Saint-Émilion's auction market — above classified growth pricing for lesser estates but below the Grand Cru Classé B and A properties. The auction market for this château is relatively thin, suggesting limited production or inconsistent release patterns. Top vintages from strong Merlot years (2000, 2009, 2010, 2015, 2016) show the most auction activity. The estate's relatively high average price-per-bottle for a non-classified Saint-Émilion suggests that its lots at auction trend toward older vintages where scarcity supports higher pricing.
