Description
Historic place where the 100 years took an end, Château de Pressac is located on an exceptional and breathtaking site, a rocky outcrop overlooking the Dordogne valley. This Saint-Emilion Grand Cru Classé of 41 ha of vines in one block, produces, thanks to its three terroirs (different, qualitative and complementary), its varied exposures, its 6 grape varieties, complex, balanced and fine wines with a continuous growing fame. This is a Merlot-dominant blend of 71% Merlot, 17% Cabernet Franc, 7% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2% Malbec, 1.5% Carménère, and 1.5% Petit Verdot that will spend 16 to 18 months in 91% barrique with 40% new oak and the remaining 9% in amphora.
Tasting Note :
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 round and structured body, while the finish is enriched with a nutty flavor, adding layers of complexity.
