Compared to the En Primeur, the oak barrel aroma of Pressac 2019 is much softer, and I can see the picture of flowers blooming and spices flying without difficulty. The minerality and elegance gifted by the limestone plateau are perfectly displayed in this wine. Clear and juicy of taste, sweet and supple of body, and […]
Jancis Robinson – Janvier 2022 – 16.5/20
Quite an evolved garnet, almost ruby. And evolved aromatically too with well-integrated flavours. The fruit seems to have been pretty ripe here though there is freshness too. Only light tannins. Pleasure in the relatively short term?

Dunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, dezente Ockerrandaufhellung. Tabakig-würzig unterlegte schwarze Waldbeeren, dunkle Herzkirschen, ein Hauch von Velour, Feigen, kandierte Orangenzesten. Saftig, komplex, feine Pflaumenfrucht, feine, gut integrierte Tannine, süß und anhaftend, gute Länge, salziger Nachhall, sicherer Entwicklungspotenzial.

The 2019 de Pressac is just as compelling from bottle as it was from barrel. A complex, mesmerizing wine, Pressac offers up an exotic mélange of black cherry, plum, chocolate, new leather, licorice, spice and menthol. All the elements are so well balanced. Espresso,, lavender, dried rose petal and cedar linger on the complex, beautifully […]

Very beautiful aromas of redcurrants and ripe plums with bark and moss, following through to a medium to full body with firm, creamy tannins and hints of salt and fresh herbs. So attractive now, but much better in 2025 and onwards.
Jean-Marc Quarin – Avril 2023 – 95pts
« Ma meilleure note donnée à ce cru en Primeur – Outsider Couleur sombre, intense et pourpre. Nez très aromatique, fin, fruité, pur, à la fois mûr et frais. Ample dès l’entrée en bouche, fondant au milieu, très aromatique, juteux, sans cesse accompagné par un gras fin, la construction est remarquable. Le vin laisse parler la […]

The 2021 Château de Pressac is one the under the radar gems in Saint-Emilion. Bright red/purplish fruit rose petal, lavender, spice, mocha and new leather are all kicked up in a Saint-Emilion that balances fruit richness with energy. The 2021 is naturally not as deep or opulent as some recent vintages, but it neverthelesshas plenty […]

Pressac 2021 is a Saint-Emilion Grand Cru Classé with elegance and power. Its mellow and jucy taste is very attracive. Siytting in the smooth and clear body is the mild freshnes. Focusing on the tongue, I can feel that every corner of my moth is coated with the calky refined structure. Accompanied by the slightly […]

Avec cinq cépages au compteur, Pressac se signale encore par son encépagement singulier. La complexité aromatique se vêtit d’un boisé un peu marqué. La bouche est serrée mais droite, arquée par une certaine raideur à ce stade, mais avec un joli potentiel de garde dans le cadre du millésime.

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.
Jürade St-Émilion – Singapour Gala Nov – 2022

“This has a dark and spiced character with plums and blackberries on offer as well as chocolate and walnut undertones. Medium- to full-bodied with firm tannins and a toned, vivid character. Deep and black fruited palate with a textured, lingering finish. Drink from 2025.”
Jane Anson – Avril 2023 – 95pts
“Bright violet-tinged plum colour, vivid berry fruit on the opening, with velvety texture that you really see and feel in the glass. Impressive, this has great quality and personality, with crunchy red fruit fruit that has juice without sacrifcing depth and complexity. Stands out in the appellation. Tasted twice, excellent both times. Hubert de Boüard […]

“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. Chalk, mint, white pepper, smoke and dried herbs lend notable aromatic complexity. As always, the blend includes Cabernet Franc plus drops of Malbec and Carménère, which lends quite a bit […]
Markus Del Monego – Mars 2023 – 94pts
Darkpurple colour with violet hue and black core. Rich nose with expressive aroma reminiscent of dark chocolate, mocha and fine toasting, balmy spices backed by ripe lackberries, blackberry jam, plum compote and discreet floral hints. On the palate well structured and balanced with freshness, ripe tannins, elegant mid-palate and excellent length.
The Wine Cellar Insider – Avril 2023 – 93-95 pts
Silky, elegant, pure, fresh, and medium-bodied, the sweet, dark, red, and black fruits are vibrant, polished, refined, long, and pure in the nose, and on the palate. Drink from 2025-2040.
