A very impressive wine for a chateau that’s not so well known. Deep and rich with a ton of elderberry and bitter-chocolate aromas, but still dry and very straight, thanks to the beautiful, fine-grained and lively acidity. A blend of 71 per cent merlot, 16 per cent cabernet franc, nine per cent cabernet sauvignon, two per cent carmenere and two per cent malbec.

The spicy note adds complexity to the licorice, vanilla, wild cherry and smoke in the nose. The wine is silky, soft, polished sweet and uplifted, with loads of elegant, polished, sweet, perfectly ripe red pit fruits in the finish.

Plenty of bay leaf, forest floor, and spring flower notes emerge from the 2016 Château de Pressac. This beauty has plenty of sweet cassis and black raspberry fruit, medium to full body, nicely integrated tannins, and outstanding purity of fruit. It's not the richest or most concentrated out there, but it's beautifully balanced. It shows more and more minerality with time in the glass and is an impressive, outstanding Saint Emilion from this estate.
