Andreas Larsson – Janvier 2024 – 90pts
Dark purle core and a lighter rim. Pure nose offering wild berries, some chalky notes, mild spice and supple oak. The palate is balanced in a lighter profile, supple with ripe tannin, digest red fruit flavours with a gentle hint of butterscotch with a fine length.
Chris Kissack – Février 2024 – 88pts
The second wine of Château de Pressac, from the Quenin family, this presents a sweet and smoky nose, with a fruit profile which features damson, rose petal, crystalline redcurrant and strawberry. The palate places all this in a delicate, acid-framed construction, filled with lightly grained and powdery tannins, with a rather fresh, sour-fruit finish. Delicately […]

71/16/9/2/2 blend of Merlot/Cabernet Sauvignon/ Cabernet Franc/ Carménère/Malbec from Jean François and Dominique Quenin. Still young and somewhat tight with tannins. Aromas of black currants and black pepper. Linear mid palate; rounded on finish.
Neal Martin – Février 2024 – 90 pts
The 2021 Tour de Pressac has developed nicely on the nose during its barrel maturation: blackberry, raspberry, brown spices and a touche of sage. There’s a little more complexity here than some of its peers. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grained tannins, well-balanced and quite fresh. Though it does lack some grip and substance on […]
Yves Beck – Février 2024 – 89pts
Frais et fruité, Tour de Pressac révèle des notes de baies noires et une touche de menthe. Son caractère friand et élancé invite à le savourer en toute quiétude. Il est harmonieux, sapide et de bonne persistance. Maintenant – 2030

Antonio Galloni – Mars 2024 – 90pts
The 2021 Tour de Pressac is a terrific second wine. Fresh, vibrant and nuanced, the 2021 is impeccable in its balance. Crushed flowers, red berry fruit, spice, mint and chalk are all finely sketched in this tasty mid-weight.

Antonio Galloni – Avril 2024 – 90-92pts
The 2023 Tour de Pressac emerges from the estate’s young vines and less-well-exposed parcels. It is a gorgeous, fruit-forward wine with terrific aromatic presence and fine balance.
Markus Del Monego – Avril 2024 – 91pts
Dark purple colour with violet hue and almost black core. Elegant nose with restrained fruit and sightly closed character, hints of dark berries, vanilla and gingerbread, discreet floral hints in the background. On the palate well structured and balanced with ripe tannins, juicy fruit, medium mid palate and good length.

Sehr dicht, feinduftig, floral, viel dunkle Frucht, Brombeeren, Kirsche. Am Gaumen seidenweich, feinste Gerbstoffe, knackige Frucht, wüsste man nicht, dass es sich um den Zweitwein handelt, man wähnt sich in einem Grand Vin. Zweifellos der beste Tour de Pressac.
James Suckling – Avril 2024 – 91-92pts
Second wine of Pressac, with currants and hints of chocolate and flowers. Medium body. Fine tannins. Subtle.
Peter Moser – Avril 2024 – 92pts
Dunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Dunkle Waldbeeren, reife Pflaumen, ein Hauch von Kirschen, ein Hauch von Nugat. Saftig, elegant und mineralisch, Rote Ribiseln, feine Tannine, frischer Säurebogen, salziger Nachhall, ein lebendiger Speisenbegleiter.
Izak Litwar – Mai 2024 – 91pts
It has delicate morello cherries and raspberry flavor, a polished palate with tasty fruit and gentle tannin, a soft texture, and a lingering finish. It is a tasty and pleasant wine. 91p.
Julia Harding – Mai 2024 – 15,5/20
Lifted and lightly leafy from the Cab Franc. But really sweet as well as leafy. Deep, firm and smooth. A slight sweet-sour effect on the finish.
Tom Mullen – Mai 2024 – 94-95pts
A blend of Merlot/Cabernet Franc/Cabernet uvignon/Carménère/Malbec/Petit Verdot from rom Jean-François and Dominique Quenin comes this wine aged 18 months in new and used oak barrels and clay amphorae. Spry aromas—think tangerine tajine, orange slices pulled from sangria, trawberries and shortbread. A linear attack followed by a three course mid palate including yams, cassis, chocolate and […]
