TASTING NOTES:

Wine Rating: RP 89 points
Drink by: 2015 - 2027

Now under the administration of new owner Philippe Cuvelier (owner of Clos Fourtet), Poujeaux has dramatically improved the quality. The 2012, a blend of 48% Cabernet Sauvignon and 43% Merlot, 6% Petit Verdot and 3% Cabernet Franc, is a very good Moulis. With a dense ruby/purple color, nice cassis fruit, medium-bodied texture, soft tannins and a fleshy, nicely textured mouthfeel, it should drink well for 10-12 years.

With a winemaking history dating to the 19th century, Château Poujeaux can be considered a "young" estate in Bordeaux but has earned a reputation in its own right. French President Georges Pompidou was a particular fan or the Moulis-en-Medoc estate and was known to serve it at the Elysée Palace.

Today, the Cuvelier family, owners of Saint-Emilion Grand Cru Clos Fourtet, have acquired the Château, injecting a new passion and energy into winemaking at the estate.
