Chateau de Pressac 2024

Weinwisser: "delikates rot- und blaubeeriges Bouquet, diskretes Veilchenparfüm, Sandelholz und heller Tabak. Am druckvollen Gaumen mit seidiger Textur, herrlicher Extraktfülle, balancierter Rasse und mittlerem Körper. Im gebündelten, feinaromatischen Finale Pflaumen, Grafit und edle Cassiswürze. Aufgrund der guten Anlagen mit gutem Lagerpotenzial ausgestattet."

Lisa Perrotti-Brown: "Deep garnet-purple colored. Features notes of crushed blackberries and raspberries with suggestions of cedar, violets, and crushed rocks. The light to medium-bodied palate is fragrant and plush with a lively line and whispery finish."

James Suckling: "This has a perfumed and expressive nose with juicy blackcurrants and berry fruit. Fine-grained, integrated tannins on the medium-bodied palate. Good length. A solid one for the vintage."

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."

Jane 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."
