Chateau Saint Pierre dates back well into the 17th century. We know this from several, historical documents on the St. Julien estate. It was first planted in 1693. Before that, the land was used a farm, At the time the documents were written, the property went by the name of Serançon. In those days, the De Cheverry family owned the Left Bank vineyards. Keep in mind, this was still about a century before the estate began going under the name of Chateau Saint Pierre. The reason for the name change was simple. It was named after its new owner, Baron de Saint Pierre who bought the estate in 1767. This was the birth of Chateau Saint Pierre.
Upon his death in 1832, Chateau Saint Pierre was divided into two separate Saint Julien vineyards for his children. This led to the creation of Chateau Saint-Pierre Bontemps and Chateau Saint Pierre Sevaistre. Managing a vineyard was not something the children were equipped to do. Between selling off parcels and their lack of investment, by the 1920’s, less than 2.5 hectares of vines remained!
Shortly after that low point, the vineyards came under new Dutch ownership by The Van den Bussche company and both estates were once again reunited. To add to the story, and bring us into the modern era, some of the better vineyard parcels were purchased by Alfred Martin, the father of Henri Martin. Henri Martin later added those plots to the vineyards for his other Saint Julien vineyard, Chateau Gloria .
