Château PUYBLANQUET
Grand cru

Château Puyblanquet has been the historic property of the Malet de Roquefort family (Ch. La Gaffelière) since 1819, and was unfortunately sold in 1959 as part of an inheritance. In 2021, it was finally returned to its original owner. This 19-hectare single vineyard, located on a clay-limestone hillside in Saint-Étienne de Lisse, now benefits from the same care as its big brother. It's no surprise, then, to find in its wines the charm and finesse of texture for which Ch. La Gaffelière is renowned.

Quarin : 92/100 « Et voici que ce millésime fait mieux que le précédent, c'est dire si la reprise en main de cette propriété depuis 2020 fait bouger les lignes. Couleur sombre, intense et pourpre. Nez très aromatique, au fruité pur et profond. Bouche tout en minutie tactile, savoureuse et grasse, évoluant complexe entre le milieu et la finale; Très bonne longueur. C'est superbe. »
Galloni : 87-89/100 « The 2023 Puyblanquet is powerful, deep and resonant. A burly Saint-Émilion, the 2023 packs a pretty serious punch. Red/purplish fruit, rose petal, spice and menthol are all dialed up in this pretty wine. »
