Falstaff (Peter Moser) -Mai 2023 – 93 pts
Dark ruby, opaque core, purple reflections, subtle brightening on the rim. Delicately spicy background, dark wild berries, hints of plums, some cassis and herbal savouriness. Juicy, round and elegant, fine acidity, ripe cherries. Balanced, already accessi- ble, salty finish; an animating wine for the table.
Colin Hay – Mai 2023 – 92-94 pts
Up and coming. This has pleasing graphite and pencil-shaving notes alongside the dark berry and stone fruit; quite saline in its minerality. A hint of the cedar to come and a lovely wild heathery note. Fresh and softly textured, but with a fully charged, compact and energetic core of crushed ripe berry fruit – a […]

En humant le bouquet de la Tour de Pressac, deux fenêtre de réflexion s’entrouvrent : premièrement on se dit que le vin doit être délicieux et, deuxièmement, on peut supposer qu’au vu du niveau du second vin, la barre est placée haut ! Le palais confirme l’annonce du bouquet. Il dispose d’une agréable sucrosité, dès […]

RVF – Août 2019 – Coup de cœur
Coup de Coeur ; Tour de Pressac 2019 s’impose avec le charme avenant du millésime, sans se départir d’une certaine rigueur à laquelle Jean-François Quenin nous a habitués et que l’on salue.
Terre de Vins – Octobre 2023 – 91-92pts
C’est un flacon fidèle au style de la propriété. Son nez est assez complexe, il offre une belle entrée en matière, confirmée par une belle texture en bouche, avec des tanins serrés et affinés. On peut le déguster aujourd’hui avec des lactaires délicieux gratinés.
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.
James Suckling – Décembre 2023 – 89pts
Pretty red currants, red cherries, mineral, cream and a touch of white pepper to the nose. A simpler and more linear expression here with firm, chalky tannins and a subtle, refined finish. A little light at the end. One for early drinking. Enjoy now through to 2028.
