The history of the Château de Pressac begins in the Middle Ages since it was founded at that time, as evidenced by its medieval gate. The castle was then fortified several times. In 1453, it was at the Château de Pressac, after the French victory at Castillon-la-Bataille, that the surrender took place, putting an end to the Hundred Years War. From 1737 to 1747, Vassal de Montviel planted in his vineyards a noble grape variety originating from Quercy: the Auxerrois. In the surrounding vineyards, the owners did the same. Thus, the grape variety took the name of "Noir de Pressac". Later, Sieur Malbek developed it in the Bordeaux region, and the variety was then called "Malbec". In 1997, Jean-François and Dominique Quenin acquired the property. They in turn carried out important improvement and extension work on the vineyard. In particular, they put back into cultivation steep hillsides, formerly worked with oxen, by creating narrow terraces in curves of level. The cellar was completely redesigned and renovated in 1999. In the fall of 2012, during the new classification of Saint-Emilion, Château de Pressac was promoted to Grand Cru Classé of Saint-Emilion. Château de Pressac has different fundamental values which are simplicity, authenticity and excellence.The history of the Château de Pressac begins in the Middle Ages since it was founded at that time, as evidenced by its medieval gate.

On a apprécié l'accueil et le vin. Nous ne sommes pas experts en vin mais le plaisir et les saveurs sont présents. On sent la passion de ce producteur et l'attention portée aux détails qui n'en sont pas : ordre, propreté et protocole d'accueil. Bravo et merci.On a apprécié l'accueil et le vin.

Our tour and tasting was fantastic. Roman was a marvelous host and was very informative about the Chateau and its history. She was patient and responded kindly to several elementary questions we had during the winemaking part of the tour. The tasting was the best. Roman presented the wines expertly explaining the different blends and their nuances.. Wonderful visit. Highly recommended..Our tour and tasting was fantastic.

While visiting St. Emilion, we were lucky to have the opportunity to visit Château de Pressac. We received superior hospitality during our visit. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and we were entreated with a visit by Monsieur Quenin. The chateau, it's history, and surrounding views provided a nice backdrop for an excellent selection of wines. Upon returning home, our dinner was greatly enhanced by the Chateau '17. Highly recommend.While visiting St. Emilion, we were lucky to have the opportunity to visit Château de Pressac. We received superior hospitality during our visit.

Nous sommes ravis d’avoir choisi le Château de Pressac pour notre seule visite d’un domaine viticole dans la région de Saint-Émilion.
Nous avons été entièrement satisfait de la visite guidée proposée par Clara qui nous a offert un accueil sympathique et des explications claires et intéressantes tout au long de la visite.
La dégustation est juste magnifique, avec en plus une intervention inattendue du propriétaire du domaine avec qui nous avons pu échanger.

Nous sommes venus le 25 aout pour une visite du château et des chais et nous avons passé un super agréable moment.
La jeune femme qui s'est occupé de nous guider (Clara il me semble) est vraiment parfaite, elle connait superbement bien l'histoire du château et surtout le sujet du vin. De la qualité de la terre à la mise en bouteille en passant par l'irrigation, l'ensoleillement, les vendanges et autres vinifications, elle est un puits de connaissance sans fond.
Elle nous a dit être une fille du coin, que son père est maitre de Chais dans une autre Château, et avoir été élevée dans cette culture du VIN et effectivement, elle transmet avec générosité et pédagogie sa passion pour ce noble produit qu'est le vin.
Ma femme et moi ainsi que nos enfants avons beaucoup appris de cette visite grâce à elle.
Un lieu et un guide que je recommande les yeux fermés, un grand merci à elle.
Un dernier mot sur la dégustation qui a suivi la visite: 3 grands crus et un rosé : de belles découvertes et une demie-caisse achetée à la boutique du Château pour nous et à partager avec nos amis et notre famille.

El personal es muy amable y el lugar es absolutamente divino.
En cuanto al recorrido e muy pobre, excesivamente básica la explicación a pesar de que pagamos la visita privada para 4 personas.
No mostraron NADA del proceso de recojida,elaboración, embotellado, etc...
La cata es pobre.
En definitiva queda por detras de las espectativas.
Yo definitivamente no volveria a tomar la visita privada y quizas buscaría una bodega mas didáctica que profundice en los conocimientos del visitante.
Si tienes un mínimo conocimiento de vinos esta visita no te aporta NADA.

The place is beautiful but the actual tour was very limited. However, the main reason of my rating is the value for money. It is 27 € per person that I will never get back.

The grounds of this Chateaux have a fantastic view out over the countryside, and we were very lucky with some great weather to go with it too. The tour was informative and the size and modernity of the production very impressive. It's a beautiful building, and when we tried the wines we did so at a long table with some small wine and chess bits that went together very well. The only bitterness we left with was knowing that it was the place of final acknowledgment by the English at the end of the Hundred Years War of their loss of the claim to the lands of Bordeaux and all the wonderful wines that are produced there!The grounds of this Chateaux have a fantastic view out over the countryside, and we were very lucky with some great weather to go with it too.

We very much enjoyed our visit to Chateau de Pressac. Our guide was throughly knowledgeable on the vineyard and on the wines themselves; the chateau in set on a hilltop with views of the surrounding area - a great setting. We all enjoyed the tasting following the tour and there was lots of exchanges amounts the group - from New Zealand, Thailand, Texas and Brazil.
