Château BRANAS GRAND POUJEAUX
Red
- 2010
- Moulis
This 12 ha vineyard is admirably located between its two illustrious neighbours, Chasse-Spleen and Poujeaux. A single watchword for the production of wines, whatever the vintage: the finesse of the tannins. Refined and silky, Branas Grand Poujeaux has been a revelation since 2009. Advised by Mr. de Boüard from 2012, it is now one of the finest bourgeois wines in the Médoc.
The 2010 vintage is rated 91/100 by Neal Martin « The palate is medium-bodied with fine grain tannins, cedar and black pepper intermixes with light ferrous notes, though here there is more precision on the finish compared to the 2009. Very fine. » (Feb. 2022)

The 2014 vintage is rated 90/100 by N.Martin "The 2014 Branas Grand Poujeaux has a much fresher nose than many of the big names, with scents of black fruit, raspberry, allspice and cedar. The palate is medium-bodied, with supple tannins, perhaps a little looser than I remember, but with a lovely caressing finish. This is undoubtedly one of the best Left Bank wines of the vintage".
