2019 Chateau de Pressac 750ML

2019 Chateau de Pressac 750ML

2019 Chateau de Pressac 750ML The 2019 de Pressac is just as compelling from bottle as it was from barrel. A complex, mesmerizing wine, Pressac offers up an exotic mélange of black cherry, plum, chocolate, new leather, licorice, spice and menthol. All the elements are so well balanced. Espresso,, lavender, dried rose petal and cedar linger on the complex, beautifully delineated finish. The 2019 is seriously impressive. It’s as simple as that. 95pts Antonio Galloni. Vinous

Very beautiful aromas of redcurrants and ripe plums with bark and moss, following through to a medium to full body with firm, creamy tannins and hints of salt and fresh herbs. So attractive now, but much better in 2025 and onwards. 94pts Suckling

Antonio Galloni is not an easy guy to impress. He was the presumed heir to Robert Parker at Wine Advocate before leaving to start Vinous, and he tastes thousands of wines every year. In 2019 he tasted over 800 Bordeaux and when gave the 2019 Chateau de Pressac 95pts, the word was out, everyone took notice. He described the wine as to be ‘seriously impressive. Simply put this is a great wine from a great vintage that is totally undervalued. 2019 is a brilliant vintage, given 95pts by Parker’s for St Emilion. Chateau de Pressac has been making wine since 1775 but the Winery took off with its acquisition by Jean Francois Quenin. Their backbreaking dedication to raising grapes of the highest quality—which involves working the soil with horses and handpicking the rows—earned the estate Grand Cru Classé status in 2012. Pressac’s terroir is composed of limestone and clay, located in St Etienne de Lisse neighboring Valandraud, Faugeres and Fleur Cardinale and just a short distance from Chateau Ausonne one of the greatest Chateau’s in the world. Quenin also serves as the President of the Union of St Emilion and Pomerol and president of the St Emilion Wine Council. He is a leader of this region and ensures that Pressac continues to rise in quality and stature. This is a wine on the up and we have secured great price for the wine. I strongly recommend.
