Chris Kissack – Avril 2024 – 94pts
A really integrated and charming aromatic profile to this wine from Jean-François Quenin, with fine black cherry and dusty summer berry fruits, as well as veins of sandalwood, smoke, tar and liquorice. A really nicely composed palate follows, elegantly restrained, with a blanket of cherry and berry fruits laid over a frame of powdery and […]

This wine exhibits abundant aromas and flavors of morello cherries and raspberries. These are complemented by velvety tannins and lively acidity. The wine displays excellent structure, subtle complexity, and perfect balance. The finish is enduring, making it a splendid wine. 93-94p.
Panos Kakaviatos – Mai 2024 – 93pts
Aging 18 months in 50% new oak, this wine has a darker tone than average with a ‘modern sheen’ reflected in more evident oak-derived tannin and ultra-ripe fruit, both dark and red, which is a good thing! I do sense some tannin extraction more than I would like but admire impressive mid palate concentration and […]
RVF – Mai 2024 – 92-93pts
Cinq cépages (cabernet franc 16,5%, cabernet-sauvignon 9%, carménère 2%, malbec 2% et une touche de petit verdot) accompagnent le merlot (70%). Un vin joliment coloré, sans saturation chromatique. Derrière le bouquet fruité, des tonalités fraiches, poivrées, végétales s’ouvrent sur un cœur de bouche à la concentration mesurée, emmenée par des tanins bien polis. Bel élan […]
Bettane & Desseauve – Mai 2024 – 94pts
Parfaite maturité des cabernet-sauvignon et des cabernets francs, finale harmonieuse. Le cru a su s’adapter au millésime.
Markus Del Monego – Avril 2024 – 94pts
Dark purple colour with violet hue and almost black core. Densely woven nose with distinct oak influence, fine toasting, oak spices, vanilla and hints of mocha in the background. Complemented by ripe boysenberries, mulberries and juicy plums, slightly floral hints in the background. On the palate well structured with rather good mid palate and convincing […]
Jane Anson – Avril 2024 – 94pts
Beautifully deep inky plum colour, a touch of heat on the nose, but well balanced by peony flowers and damson fruits. This stretches out through the palate, white pepper and rosemary spice notes, a kick of turmeric and cinnamon, good persistency, and combines exuberance and restraint. 45% new oak and 5% in amphora for ageing. […]
Chris Kissack – Avril 2024 – 93-95pts
The 2023 from Château de Pressac offers threads of sweet red cherry and redcurrant swirled with leather, tobacco, vanilla and toast. And there is a touch of cherry ripple ice cream here, with a black pepper lift. This is immediately convincing on the palate, feeling dark and more concentrated than the nose suggested, with dark […]
Adrian Van Velsen – Avril 2024 – 93-95 pts
Tiefgründig, reiffruchtig, Brombeeren, schwarze Johannisbeeren, florale Noten. Am Gaumen ausgewogen, viel Gerbstoff, fein mit der Frucht verwoben, noch wild, von Ausbau geprägt, jedoch mit sehr guten Anlagen. Reiht sich nahtlos in die Reihe der qualitativ hochwertigen Jahrgänge von de Pressac ein.
Terre de Vins – Mai 2024 – 93-94pts
Un nez de violette et de myrtille se discerne, twisté par une fine couche d’agrumes. Une élégance feutrée qui se confirme en bouche, signée par une belle mâche : on a du jus, de la plénitude, des tanins savoureux, une belle fraîcheur en soutien qui étire le vin et lui donne de l’allonge. Pressac réussit […]
