Bettane & Dessauve : 90-91/100 « Les tannins se fondent avec une précision parfaite, offrant un corps équilibré. »
Vinous (A. Galloni): 89-91/100 "The 2024 Puyguéraud is promising. In 2024, Puyguéraud is not quite as dark or powerful as it can be, but that is not a bad thing. Crushed flowers, cedar and sweet pipe tobacco lend notable aromatic presence. The profile in 2024 is distinctly red-fruit leaning which I find quite attractive. This is very nicely done."
Vinous (N. Martin) : 87-89/100 "The 2024 Puyguéraud initially comes across as a little blowsy on the nose compared to its peers, although it settles in the glass with black cherry and blueberry aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins, quite supple in the mouth with raspberry and tayberry towards the finish."
La Revue du Vin de France : 88-89/100 « Le retour du malbec. Un beau jus plein, juteux, joliment ciselé. Une structure avenante, sanguine en finale. »
