(5/14/2023) "Lots of currants and blackberries with violets and dried flowers such as honeysuckle. Medium to full body. Firm and racy tannins, and a long and focused finish. Linear. Black earth undertones. Drink after 2027."

(3/29/2023) "One of the best values out there, the 2020 Chateau Puygueraud reveals a beautiful, medium-bodied, elegant profile as well as ample cassis and more blue fruits, some violet, truffle, and floral notes, soft tannins, and outstanding length. It's a gem of a wine to enjoy over the coming 7-8 years, if not a decade. Maturity: 2023 - 2031."

(3/12/2023) "Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2020 Puygueraud Rouge features bright, expressive scents of kirsch, black raspberries, and rose oil with touches of black pepper and tree bark. The full-bodied palate delivers mouth-filling, ripe black fruits with rounded tannins and a refreshing lift on the finish. Drinking: 2023 - 2037."
Decanter: 91 Points
(4/30/2021) "Small yields here because of the hail in mid April, 15hl/ha, a third of the usual harvest. But what is left behind is so drinkable with such careful placing of the fruit - a good slather of black fruits, extremely fine and harmonious with good pace as it travels through the palate. Excellent; slightly closing in on the finish because of tannic build up. Drinking Window: 2023 - 2026."
Wine Advocate: 91 Points
(4/13/2023) "The 2020 Puygueraud, a blend of 88% Merlot and 12% Cabernet Franc growing in clay-limestone soils, exhibits intense and fresh aromas of violet, cassis, blueberry and spring flowers, followed by a medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy mouthfeel; this is perfectly balanced and will improve with a bit more bottle age. Drink Date: 2023 - 2028."
