Tasting notes
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.

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.
The 2015 Château Puy Blanquet is another top-quality Saint-Emilion in the vintage. A blend of 75% Merlot and the rest Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon, this full-bodied, ripe, sexy beauty boasts terrific notes of cherries, crème de cassis, chocolate, and hints of charcoal. It has present tannin, yet they’re sweet and integrated, solid mid-palate depth and a great finish, all making for one seriously delicious 2015 to drink over the coming 10-15 years.
A Jean-Pierre Moueix wine. 95% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc. Clay limestone. Bright shining fruit on the nose. Rather low-key and mild on the palate, with shades of sherbet. (JR)
