Chateau de Pressac 2024

FALSTAFF: "Dunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, dezente Randaufhellung. Brombeerkonfit, frische Pflaumen, Orangenzesten und Kräuterwürze sind unterlegt. Saftig, gute Komplexität, feine Süße, gute Frische, etwas Karamell im Abgang, elegant, zugänglich, mit Reifepotenzial ausgestattet."

ANSON: "Ruby red, medium intensity, grilled sandalwood and red liquorice, pocket of air running under these slim red fruits, limestone signature, with a lovely salty twist on the finish, and this is enjoyable, if a lighter styled Pressac. 40ha, Jean-François Quenin owner. First year of massal selection for Cabernet Franc, 8% amphora ageing, and 20% whole bunch fermentation on Merlot and Franc, 38hl/h yield (but with 25% going into a 3rd wine, so overall a very tight selection)."

VINUM: "Duftig, kräuterwürzig, Eukalyptus, Kirschen, Cassis, Brombeeren; am Gaumen druckvoll, mit feinsten Tanninen, kernig, zeigt Struktur, Balance, Frische und Länge. Einmal mehr, sehr gelungen."

THE WINE CELLAR INSIDER: "Black cherries, licorice, and flowers come together in the nose, and on the bright, fresh, medium-bodied, vibrant, crisp, black-raspberry, cocoa, licorice, and, espresso oriented palate. This should be a pleasure to taste with just a year or so of aging. Drink from 2028-2040."
