2022 Château Puyblanquet, Grand Cru St-Emilion
Tasted April 2023. This has the same bright red fruit character as La Gaffeliere, and has a lovely silky texture, with summer fruits on the palate and a chalky note to the finish. Balanced and pure, with a long finish and some taut, densely-packed tannin. Puyblanquet is a brilliant wine this year and a complete bargain.

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.

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.
