2021 Château Puyblanquet, St Emilion, Bordeaux

Description

Merlot 75%, Cabernet Franc 25%.

This very well-sited property was owned by the Malet Roquefort family of La Gaffelière until 1959; they had to sell in the downturn following the disastrous 1956 frost. But they had the opportunity to buy it back in 2020. The property sits along the limestone ridge that also houses Laroque, Pressac and Valandraud. Alexandre de Malet Roquefort could wait until well into October to complete the harvest. This nicely composed wine is fresh, with an appealing nose strongly around primary red fruits with an accent of spiced, macerated fruit.

Drink 2024 - 2032

Our score: 16.5/20

Critics reviews

Sarah Mayo 99/100
The 2021 Puyblanquet has a high-toned, floral bouquet, with violet petals infusing the red berry fruit and hints of mandarin in the background. The palate is medium-bodied, with a pleasant sappiness on the entry, fine acidity, and a minerally finish that lingers in the mouth. This is a solid effort in a tricky growing season.

About this wine

Saint-Emilion

Saint-Emilion

First officially classified in 1954, St-Émilion is one of Bordeaux's largest winemaking appellations, producing more wine than Listrac, Moulis, St Estèphe, Pauillac, St Julien and Margaux combined. Many of the region's finest vineyards can be found atop the steep limestone slopes of the village itself, although a fledgling band of garagiste producers are eschewing terroir to make small-batch, deeply-concentrated wines from their homes.
