Falstaff – Mai 2022 – 92pts
Dark garnet, narrow purple rim. Delicate nougat, dark berry fruit, a hint of plums and blackberries, hints of liquorice and tangerine zest. Medium-bodied, elegant, red cherries, ripe, fine tannins, pleasant minerality, balance and length; certainly has ageing potential.
Jeff Leve – Mai 2022 – 92-94pts
Smoky, with a leafy, tobacco edge to the elegant, refined, fresh, cherries and plums. Medium-bodied, soft and silky, there is a nice sweetness to the fruits on the palate and in the finish, with its touch of chocolate-mint in the endnote. Not much wine was made as the yields were under 15 hectoliters per hectare. […]

La restructuration du vignoble paie. Pressac a encore gagné en ampleur Il est construit sur l’énergie du millésime. Le tanin se resserre en bouche, donnant plus de vigueur à l’ensemble. Les argiles lui confèrent de la finesse, ce qui le rend moins démonstratif qu’auparavant.

Antonio Galloni – Décembre 2022 – 94pts
“The 2020 de Pressac is a wine of real charm and seduction. Bright floral and citrus notes drive a core of sweet red cherry fruit.

95 : Bright and vibrant, a lovely cleanness , so pure, so fine and well worked, generous, appealing but the weight and the texture and the tannic integration is flawless. Round, easy, lovely black and red fruits, great chalky coolness with some minerality and liquorice, graphite tang on the finish. A wine you could drink […]
