Château Preuillac

Sort By:

Château Preuillac 2009 Red (Médoc)

Price $35

Big and rich, powered with sweet fruits, rounded with black plums. The firm tannins are densely packed at the core of this ageworthy wine. With its swathes of ripe fruit and the edge of wood aging, it’s already delicious, but keep for at least six years. — R.V. (2/1/2012)

Château Preuillac 2010 Red (Médoc)

Online Exclusive

Sitting well above its place in the Bordeaux hierarchy, Preuillac, owned by the Mau family, has produced a firmly structured 2010, bearing dense tannins as well as powerful fruit. It has a juicy element but needs many years to round out and show all of its considerable potential. — R.V. (2/1/2013)

Château Preuillac 2003 Red (Médoc)

Price $21

The Mau family, who also run négociants Yvon Mau, have poured money into this Médoc chateau, bringing it back to life. It has paid off in this powerful, rich 2003, which packs blackberry flavors alongside new wood, polished tannins and impressive aging potential. Imported by Victoire Imports. — R.V. (5/1/2006)

Château Preuillac 2005 Red (Médoc)

Price $21

Classic, balanced wine with a twist of richness. The black currant flavors are almost jelly-like in their sweetness, although these flavors are well balanced with acidity and a firm layer of dry tannins. — R.V. (6/1/2008)

points

Château Preuillac 2006 Red (Médoc)

Online Exclusive

Price $30

Very much in the food style of Bordeaux, this wine shows the freshness of the 2006 vintage, while also offering some ripe weight. Flavors of fresh black currants edged with black plum skin are supported by a firm line of tannins, finished with a sweet, juicy, fleshy aftertaste. — R.V. (3/1/2009)

Château Preuillac 2010 Barrel sample Red (Médoc)

89-91 Ripe, juicy fruit laced with wood and tannins. The fruit is so black currant jam in flavors that the wine is almost approachable now. — R.V. (6/25/2011)

points

Château Preuillac 2004 Red (Médoc)

Château Preuillac, deep in the wilds of the northern Médoc, is making very good wine, to judge by this and other recent vintages, thanks to big investments from the Mau family. It is finely balanced, a combination of a dry, firm, tannic structure and ripe, juicy fruit, underpinned by new wood. — R.V. (6/1/2007)

points
