A long-standing favourite among Bordeaux enthusiasts, Château Poujeaux has earned a reputation for producing wines that blend power and elegance in equal measure. Located in the heart of Moulis-en-Médoc, the estate benefits from well-drained gravel soils and a meticulous approach to vineyard management and cellar work, ensuring consistently high quality across vintages.
The 2019 vintage epitomises the estate’s modern precision and classic soul. A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot, and Cabernet Franc, it opens with an expressive bouquet of ripe blackberries, cassis, and dark cherries, layered with notes of cedar, graphite, and a touch of mocha. The palate is silky yet structured, with fine-grained tannins and beautifully integrated oak. Concentrated fruit is balanced by a refreshing lift, leading to a long, harmonious finish.
A polished Médoc wine that will reward cellaring but is already immensely pleasurable. Perfect with roast lamb, duck breast, or a mushroom risotto.
