Château Puyblanquet sits on the limestone plateau of Saint-Émilion, where the Jacquet family has been quietly crafting serious Right Bank Bordeaux since 1946. This 2022 vintage captures everything we love about this understated estate: the mineral backbone that comes from those chalky soils, the plush fruit that defines great Saint-Émilion, and the kind of structural integrity that makes you want to squirrel bottles away for a decade.

The blend leans on Merlot for its generous core of dark plum and cassis, with Cabernet Franc contributing that signature Saint-Émilion perfume. This is Saint-Émilion that knows its place but isn't afraid to show some muscle.
