93 points James Suckling: "An array of fresh dark and blue-fruit aromas, together with hints of baking spices, chocolate and crushed rocks. Full-bodied and compact with firm, polished tannins and delicious, succulent fruit. Refined and firm on the finish. 86% merlot and 14% cabernet franc. Drinkable now, but better in 2025. (1/21/22)"
92 points Georgina Hindle (Decanter): "Fragranced milk chocolate and black cherries on the nose - a gorgeous smell. Rush of fresh fruity flavours on the palate - blueberries, raspberries and blackcurrants alongside hints of minty, stony bitterness that edge the fruit giving texture and tang. Round with silky tannins. Easy to drink and easy to recommend. Drinking Window: 2023-2029. (1/5/22)"
92 points Jeb Dunnuck: "The 2019 Château Puygueraud is also terrific, with ripe darker cherry, plum, leafy tobacco and hints of chocolate on the nose. This medium-bodied, rounded, supple, elegant beauty has soft tannins, wonderful balance, and a great finish. Drink it over the coming decade. Drink: 2022-2032. (4/11/22)"
92 points Jeff Leve (The Wine Cellar Insider): "Earthy with truffle accents along with flowers, cocoa and sweet cherries and tobacco leaf, the wine is medium-bodied, salty fresh and vibrant with a sweetness to the spicy red fruits in the finish. This is the finest vintage of Puygueraud I have ever tasted. Drink from 2022-2034. (Mar 2022)"
91 points Yohan Castaing (Wine Advocate): "The 2019 Puygueraud exhibits aromas of black cherries, violet and iris, thyme, menthol and touches of spices. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, juicy and vibrant, with delicate aromas of plum and cassis. This vintage can be approached with pleasure, even if it has three to five years of evolution ahead of it. Drink: 2024-2028. (4/13/23)"
91 points Jane Anson (Inside Bordeaux): "(86% Merlot, 14% Cabernet Franc). Concentrated texture, with damson and black cherry fruits to the fore, and an undertow of limestone salinity underpinning the palate. Great quality in an appellation that did well in 2019, and an enjoyable twist of bitter almond on the finish. 50% aged in new oak, 50% stainless steel vats. Alcohol 14%. Drink: 2022-2030. (11/2/21)"
