Note di degustazione
The 2025 Château de Pressac has an intense and slightly volatile nose that feels a bit pushed. The palate is medium-bodied, with a very sweet entry, fluffy tannins and lacks the precision and delineation that this vintage put on the table. It will need a very prudent élevage. Tasted twice, the second sample showing a little more definition, yet still missing complexity.

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, the 2025 Château De Pressac offers up lifted aromatics of candied cherries, jammy blue fruits, violets, chocolaty oak, camphor, and spice. On the palate, it's rich and medium to full-bodied, with a plump, round, layered mouthfeel, velvety yet building tannins, and a great finish. It checks in at 14% alcohol with a pH of 3.5. This is a serious, well-oaked, textured Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Classé that will offer plenty of pleasure right out of the gate.
The 2025 de Pressac offers a beguiling mix of inky red/purplish fruit, blood orange, mint, exotic spice, leather and pomegranate. Exotic and wild, with striking inner perfume and gorgeous mid-palate weight, Pressac is sublime. Polished, silky tannins pull it all together. This is one of the finest recent vintages I can remember tasting. Rose petal, white pepper and chalk lift the brilliant finish. Pressac remains mystifyingly under the radar. Tasted two times.
