2022 Château Puyblanquet, St Emilion, Bordeaux

Description

Puyblanquet has extra resonance for its owner, Alexandre de Malet Roquefort (of Ch. La Gaffelière). It had to be sold in 1959 after 150 years of ownership, to cover inheritance taxes; the family rebought it in 2020. Their commitment to its reacquisition is understandable: Puyblanquet can offer delicious drinking, and not without complexity. It is rarely seen elsewhere on the En Primeur market; Berry Bros. & Rudd take the lion’s share.

The wine is richly perfumed with notes of blackcurrant, dark chocolate and Asian spice, tightening up with a lick of minerality on the finish.

Merlot 80%; Cabernet Franc 20%

Inky purple colour, clear austerity here, showing edges of blackcurrant, black chocolate, saffron and slate. Located near to Châteaux Boutisse and Pressac, on cooler clay-limestone soils, enjoyable.Drink 2026-2038jane_anson_mw, janeanson_com (April 2023)

The 2022 Puyblanquet is all finesse and class. Readers will find an airy, gracious Saint-Émilion that is much more about understatement and elegance than power. Crushed flowers, mint, sage, crushed rocks, tobacco and dried flowers all run through this airy, wonderfully refined Saint-Émilion. There's a level of precision that is like that of a white wine. Drink 2026-2042antonio_galloni, Vinous.com.com (April 2023)

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.
