Alexandre MA – Mai 2023 – 94-95 pts
Château de Pressac 2022 impresses with its ability to showcase fruitiness regardless of hot and dry growing seasons. Upon swirling the glass, notes of red plums, blackberries, raspberries, and hawthorn cake emerge, followed by hints of cinnamon and clove, creating a lively and delightful experience. The fine powdery tannins cover the palate, enhancing the already […]
Peter Moser Falstaff – Mai 2023 – 95 pts
Deep dark ruby garnet colour with opaque core and purple reflections, delicate brightening on the rim. Dark berries, hints of ripe cherries, fine savouriness, some nougat, inviting, multi-faceted bouquet. Powerful, juicy, ripe blackberries, fresh, very persistent, mineral and salty on the finish, certain ageing potential for many years.
Bettane et Desseauve – Mai 2024 – Coup de coeur (must have) – 94 pts
Parfaite maturité des cabernet-sauvignon et des cabernets francs, finale harmonieuse. Le cru a su s’adapter au millésime.
Decanter – MAI 2022 – 95 pts
95 : Bright and vibrant, a lovely cleanness , so pure, so fine and well worked, generous, appealing but the weight and the texture and the tannic integration is flawless. Round, easy, lovely black and red fruits, great chalky coolness with some minerality and liquorice, graphite tang on the finish. A wine you could drink […]
Vert de Vin Magazine – Mai 2021 – 94pts
« Le nez est fruité et offre une bonne définition ainsi qu’une petite puissance, une certaine intensité et de la concentration. On y retrouve des notes de mûre sauvage fraiche/mûre, de violette et plus légèrement de fraise des bois associées à des touches de cassis pulpeux, de tabac blond frais et à de discrètes pointes de […]

Andreas Larsson – Janvier 2024 – 93pts
Inky dark purple core and hue. Floral and fragrant with violet, crushed blackberry, cassis, truffle, and finely toasted oak with some coffee bean hints. Dense and voluminous with ripe tannin, sweet fruit flavours with a fine level of acidity, digest fruit, warming and fleshy with a really long finish, remarkably well done for the vintage.
Chris Kissack – Février 2024 – 90pts
The grand vin from Jean-François Quenin, from this historic property position right on the plateau’s edge, as usual this is mostly Merlot, bit of course the seasoning here includes both Cabernets as well as Malbec (or Noir de Pressac, as it is also known) and even Carmenère. A good depth of colour in the glass […]
Tom Mullen – Février 2024 – 95pts
Ripe fruit aromas. Rich, soft, balanced mid palate of fresh sliced red and black cherries and some shortbread biscuits. Layered and lambent. Juicy acidity, quiet but firm tannins. Well made classic expression of Saint-Émilion.
