The 2016 vintage received great press and represents not only one of the best buys in Saint-Emilion, but one of the best buys in all of Bordeaux. It’s easy to see a natural pairing between 2009 and 2015, plus 2010 and 2016, The first two are warmer years with richer fruits, and the second two are more architectural, with high acidity and serious tannic structure. - Decanter

What makes the 2016 vintage so special is the quality across the Bordeaux hierarchy. The same character found in the most complex wines is also apparent in the simpler options. They all offer bottlings with rich, ripe fruit and a tannic structure that promises longevity. - Wine Enthusiast

During our En Primeur tasting trip to Bordeaux in 2023 we had the opportunity to visit the beautiful Saint-Emilion property Chateau de Pressac. We tasted the 2022 vintage and a selection of older vintages with the owner, Jean-François Quenin, and the GVWM tasting team were blown away by the quality of the wines. One of the highlights of the tasting was the impressive 2016 vintage. It represents not only one of the best buys in Saint-Emilion, but one of the best buys in all of Bordeaux. Finding under the radar wines in Bordeaux is not that easy these days, so it is immensely gratifying when we unearth something as good as this. Don't take our word for it...buy a case or two for your cellar and we are certain you will impressed! - GVWM Team

One of the sleepers in Saint-Émilion, Pressac is once again striking in 2016. Big and vertical in feel, with tremendous fruit density, the 2016 has a lot to offer. Inky dark fruit, graphite, menthol, plum and lavender mesh together in this dark, potent wine. The 2016 is wonderfully fresh and also quite structured. Readers will have to be patient, as it will be a few years before all the wine starts to drink well. As always, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec and Carmenère play an important role in shaping the personality of one of Bordeaux's most unique and intriguing wines. The 2016 spent 18 months in oak, 50% new. Alain Raynaud consults. Tasted three time-Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media

Very attractive and suave nose with toasty oak and fresh berries, leading to a plush and neatly arrayed palate with ample, deep-set tannins and good ripeness. Second label of Château Carignan. Try from 2022. - James Suckling

Chunky Merlot has combined with tannins to produce a strongly structured wine that is still developing. Its dense texture and dry core are matched by generous black fruits in a powerful wine that will be ready from 2022. - Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast
