Description
The elegance and balance of a Grand Cru Classé from Saint-Émilion
The estate
To the east of Saint-Émilion, on the right bank of Bordeaux, the Château de Pressac overlooks the commune of Saint-Étienne de Lisse. Having witnessed the surrender of the Hundred Years' War, Château de Pressac is a true historical and viticultural stronghold of the region. Today, and since 1997, the Quenin family has had the honour of managing the vineyard and the Pressac estate. Thanks to their philosophy of excellence and their passion for this exceptional terroir, they have elevated Château de Pressac to the rank of Grand Cru Classé of Saint-Émilion in 2012.
The vineyard
The Château de Pressac 2023 is a Saint-Émilion wine from a 39-hectare vineyard managed according to the principles of sustainable agriculture and located on a limestone plateau overlooking the Dordogne.
Vinification and ageing
Harvested manually in crates, the grapes are subject to a double sorting before gravity-fed vatting. Vinification by gentle pumping over and/or rack and return. Maceration for 22 to 24 days. Malolactic fermentations are partly carried out in new barrels. The ageing lasts 16 to 18 months, 95% in barrels (of which 50% are new) and 5% in amphorae.
Blend
The Château de Pressac 2023 is the result of a blend of Merlot (70%), Cabernet Franc (16.5%), Cabernet Sauvignon (9%), Carménère (2%), Malbec (2%) and Petit Verdot (0.5%).
