Critic reviews
"Beautifullly poised plummy colour, clear glass-staining and vibrant edging. Rich texture visually but this provides an attractive contrast on the palate, with some excellent levels of freshness and even austerity at this stage. Touch of damson puree, crab apple even, pretty high acidity on the close of play. This is a 31ha property, harvest September 19 to October 5. Good value."
Jane Anson, April 2023, JaneAnson.com
"A richly concentrated and toasted nose full of dark fruit. Bright and forward, this is full of red berry fruit with supple and flexible tannins giving this energy and bounce. Open and expressive with touches of bitter chocolate and graphite on the finish. Lots to like here. For early, enjoyable drinking."
Georgina Hindle, January 2025, Decanter.com
Aromas of sweet plums, cherries and sweet fruit compote introduce the 2022 Peymouton, a medium-bodied, soft and sun-kissed wine with an open palate and a relatively ephemeral finish. I suspect it will be at its best in the near term."
William Kelley, March 2025, RobertParker.com
"The 2022 Peymouton presents a lighter bouquet than I recall from the barrel, leaning more toward red fruit with a dark chocolate tincture. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins. It's quite fleshy and open with a soft mocha-tinged finish. This will drink earlier than I envisaged."
Neal Martin, February 2025, Vinous.com
"The 2022 Peymouton is a racy, supple Saint-Émilion to drink now and over the next decade. Cedar, new leather, pine, menthol and forest floor notes lift a core of red-toned fruit."
Antonio Galloni, January 2025, Vinous.com
"A medium-bodied red with velvety tannins and a spiced, chocolatey finish with hints of nut shell and dried flowers. Dry and chalky. 82% merlot, 10% cabernet franc and 8% cabernet sauvignon."
