Tasting Notes
Vinous 91
The 2015 Puy-Blanquet is a lovely wine. Readers should expect a Saint-Émilion built on aromatics, midweight structure and silky tannins. In 2015, the wine naturally has a bit more body and richness than is typically the case, but its personality remains the same. Sweet red cherry and raspberry fruit give the wine brightness and lift.
Anticipated maturity: 2018-2035

“A blend of 95% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc, the medium garnet-purple colored 2015 Puy-Blanquet opens with notes of crushed red plums, black raspberries and lavender with touches of bay leaves and fertile soil. Medium-bodied, soft, lively and with plenty of juicy red fruits, it finishes with a refreshing lift.”
