Château POUJEAUX
Red

Bought in 2008 by M. Cuvelier (Clos Fourtet), a new era is beginning at Poujeaux under the leadership of Messrs Thienpont and Derenoncourt.

With its racy elegance, natural velvetiness and delicate yet deep texture, Poujeaux is the most Saint-Julien of the Moulis wines, and a model of style for all the crus bourgeois of the Médoc. The vintage is making steady progress, as evidenced by the 94/100 rating awarded by the Revue du Vin de France for its 2020 vintage « voilà un vin très séveux et prometteur ».

Vinous (A. Galloni): 89-91/100 "The 2024 Poujeaux is quite bold and savory, largely because of the elevated presence of Petit Verdot in the blend. Dried flowers, lavender, spice and licorice lend dark tonalities to the bouquet. In 2024 Poujeaux is quite reticent, despite its mid-weight structure and modest 12.5% alcohol. I would cellar it for a few years, as this needs time to come together. I find the 2024 a bit a raw and unformed at this stage, and yet it has plenty of depth to make me cautiously optimistic about the future."

J-M Quarin : 90/100 « Couleur sombre, aux reflets grenat. Nez intense, au fruité mûr. Bouche caressante, savoureuse et parfumée, évoluant sur un corps normal, avec de l'allonge dans la persistance. C'est bon. »

La Revue du Vin de France : 91-92/100 « Le cru offre un caractère élégant, avec un fruité frais, rond et des tanins au grain fin. Ce vin en demi-puissance séduit par son côté harmonieux et fondu. »
