    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 ».

    The 2020 vintage is rated 94/100 by La Revue du Vin de France "This is a very seductive and promising wine [...]. [...] It has good definition on the palate, with the usual charm of the vintage and well-integrated tannins". (December 2022)


    Rated 92/100 by N. Martin "The 2020 Poujeaux is a wonderful Moulis-en-Médoc that should offer excellent value for money. On the nose, bright blackberry mingles with blueberry and graphite, and the wine is intense and determined to make a good impression. The palate is structured but well balanced, the silver thread of acidity running from start to finish. A little glassy on the finish, it will be tempered by the bottle ageing that Poujeaux always needs. Don't ignore it." (December 2022)

    The 2019 vintage is rated 94/100 by Neal Martin « The 2019 Poujeaux has a very delineated, focused bouquet of blackberry, cedar, mint and light tea leaf scents, one of the most complex I have encountered from this great estate in recent years. The medium-bodied palate is fresh, vibrant and grippy, with slightly chalky tannins and a saline, persistent finish.

    Rated 90+/100 by Neal Martin « This feels a little pinched at the moment but it has the weight and intensity to fill out with bottle age. Maybe it would benefit from more complexity on the finish, but otherwise it is a well-crafted Poujeaux. » (February 2020)

    A small vineyard of 8 ha of old vines (70% Merlot), owned by Clos Fourtet. Superb wine, balanced and fruity and tasty, for a very modest price, which rightly became a grand cru classé in 2012. Totally agree with La Revue du Vin de France "The best quality/price ratio in Saint-Émilion".

    Rated 92/100 by N. MARTIN « The 2020 Côte de Baleau has an attractive bouquet with blackberry, rasberry, dried blood and cedar. Lovely focus here, real class and delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with blackberry, tobacco and graphite, again very well-focused with an engaging, mineral-driven finish that lingers in the mouth. This a very well-crafted Saint-Emilion that will age with style » (December 2022)

    The 2021 vintage is rated 94/100 by Jean-Marc Quarin "Beautiful dark red, crimson. Intense, fine, fruity, fresh and ripe nose. Delicate on the palate and immediately endowed with a meticulous and refined touch, the wine evolves tasty, tender, slightly velvety, towards a sappy finish in which a touch of vivacity returns."
