G. Hindle, V. Arnese, A. Coggill – 95pts
Georgie Hindle: Gorgeous red berry fruit with a bite, and slight strictness to the tannins. Not yet ready to drink, but sleek and stylish. Concentrated and muscular, excellent pure acidity, and salty minerality, too. Vincenzo Arnese: Good structure, vibrant with good intensity and ripeness. Tannins are integrated and oak is well blended. Good finish. Arthur […]

The 2020 Château De Pressac showed beautifully, with terrific purity in its spicy dark fruits, spice, chocolate, and earthy nuances. Medium to full-bodied and concentrated, with ripe tannins, it’s another balanced, layered, incredibly impressive Saint-Emilion that does everything right. It’s going to benefit from short-term cellaring and keep for two decades, if not longer. The […]

This is a 100% “Terroir Wine”, and you must not rush to taste it, for if you are fooled by its reserved aromas, you may miss this delicious wine. Château de Pressac 2020 has an outstanding balance, and it leaves the reservedness and elegance of limestone terroir after caressing the taste buds. The palate is […]
Decanter – Mars 2023 – 93pts
Juicy and lively with lots of liquorice and dark chocolate flavours lacing the blackcurrant, raspberry, blueberry and plum fruit. Feels well worked with balanced acidity and a super sleek texture and I love the limestone touches – the salinity and minerality. Tannins are fine and well integrated. There’s a classicism to this despite being a […]
Jean-Marc Quarin – Mars 2023 – 94pts
Couleur sombre et pourpre. Nez très aromatique, fruité et profond. Belle odeur de fruits noirs parfaitement mêlée à un joli boisé nuancé. Minutieux en entrée de bouche, particulièrement aromatique au milieu, précis dans sa réalisation, avec un corps juteux, le vin glisse jusqu’en finale. Les dernières secondes de la dégustation l’élève encore. Tannin raffiné. C’est […]
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.

Black core with purple rim. Really fragrant and open, seems to show the 20% stems as much in the aroma as on the palate. Lovely freshness and refinement, especially in the finest of tannins. Elegant already. Cool and fresh but with more to come.
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.
James Suckling – Avril 2024 – 94-95 pts
Really refined and focused with blackberry, blueberry and crushed stone. Medium-bodied with class and tension. Racy.

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 […]
