Jane Anson – Avril 2023 – 95
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 […]

Le nez est fruité, épicé, puissant et racé. On y retrouve des notes de mûre de Boysen, de cassis et plus légèrement de poivre associées à des touches de violette, de petits fruits bleus sauvages ainsi qu’à des pointes de camphre, à une discrète pointe de torréfaction ainsi qu’à une discrète pointe de sens de […]
In Wino Wine (Marie Roginska) – Mai 2023 –
Coup de Coeur : Le terroir et la mosaïque de cépages sont très propices à affronter les caprices plus en plus fréquents de la météo d’ajourd’hui. En effet, grâce à son assemblage unique, le vin a beaucoup de caractère en gardant le soyeux et l’élégance de Merlot, avec sa fraicheur et sa belle acidité. Sa […]

six different bordeaux varieties planted here! Bright crimson. Quite a broad spread of interesting flavours on the nose. Sweet, almost sickly, start to the palate and some fairly light tannins on the end. Medium persistence. Juicy, transparent but not that dense a wine considering the vintage potential.

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 little cherry skin […]

The 2022 Château De Pressac should be terrific. It has a forward, supple, incredibly charming style carrying lots of spicy red fruits, notes of leather, dried herbs, and loamy earth, medium body, plenty of mid-palate depth, and ripe tannins. I love its overall balance, and this is a seriously good 2022 that’s going to offer […]

Le premier nez est fermé puis s’ouvre sur la menthe et l’eucalyptus. Ce gage de fraicheur se confirmeen bouche pour un bel équilibre acidité-sucrosité et ce caractère juteux. L’ensemble est une promesse de garde avec une finale sur le bonbon acidulé. Le Château de Pressac signe un très beau 2022.

Rather balanced in its expression of ripe fruit, red and black. Underlying wet stone freshness pleases! With more “modern” hints of dark chocolate, which complement rather than dominate. This is quite good indeed. Tasted twice with similar notes.
The Wine Doctor – Mai 2023 – 93-95 pts
From the Quenin clan, on the eastern plateau, this kicks off with a dense, compact, savoury and lightly toasted nose, melding very concentrated yet perfumed plum and cherry fruits with rose petals and violets. The palate is very convincing, harmonious, with a minerally grain to it as – I suspect – a reflection of the […]
Vinous (Antonio Galloni) – Mai 2023 – 92-95 pts
The 2022 de Pressac is dense, rich and explosive. Ripe dark cherry, plum, spice, menthol, licorice and chocolate give the 2022 notable depth and complexity. The tannins are very well balanced for a young Pressac, while floral top notes lift the finish. Tasted two times.
