James Suckling
Reviewed February 2019Focused fruit, such as raspberries and blackberries with chalk and flowers. Full body, firm and chewy tannins and a long and defined finish. Quite muscular. Try after 2021.

Vinous
The 2016 Puy-Blanquet is a gorgeous, classically built Saint-Émilion that emphasizes freshness and purity. Deceptively medium in body, the 2016 is supple, deep and incredibly inviting. Sweet tobacco, cedar, leather and licorice add lovely aromatic top notes. Pliant and inviting, this incredibly delicious yet understated Saint-Émilion will be hard to resist in its youth. It is also one of the undisputed Sleeper gems of the vintage. Don't miss it. (AG)

Wine Spectator
Pure and focused, with damson plum, red currant and raspberry coulis flavors entwined at the core, while a bright, iron-tinged streak of mineral adds lift throughout. Shows mouthwatering drive on the finish. A wine of elegant charm. Best from 2021 through 2030. (JM)

Wine Advocate
Blended of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc, the medium garnet-purple colored 2016 Puy-Blanquet delivers black cherries, warm redcurrants and black plum preserves on the nose with wafts of stewed tea, tobacco and bay leaves. Medium-bodied, the palate has a pleasant chewiness to the texture and plenty of earth-laced red and black fruits, finishing on a peppery note.
