Very much in the Poujeaux style (quite loose-knit and soft) and a successful Poujeaux at that, bready fruit and good clinging length in the juice, if no very striking structure. Rating: 87 L&S (Apr 2006)

The 2005 Château Poujeaux has quite a pronounced undergrowth element on the nose, with blackberry, cedar and wet tobacco scents developing in the glass. The palate is rounded on the entry, a voluminous Poujeaux with fine tannin, crisp acidity and a judicious touch of white pepper and tobacco towards the finish. Great length here - probably just entering its drinking plateau now. Drinking range: 2017 - 2032 Rating: 92 Neal Martin, www.vinous.com (Feb 2015)

Dark crimson. Very attractively well-melded nose. Fresh start with fully resolved tannins. Just a little harsh on the end. But a seriously alluring nose. GV Drinking range: 2012 - 2020 Rating: 16.5 Jancis Robinson OBE MW - www.JancisRobinson.com (Feb 2015)

Saturated medium ruby. Blackberry and bitter chocolate on the nose. Juicy, spicy and tight; still youthfully austere in the middle. Rather linear today, but nicely balanced and not hard. The dense black fruit and violet flavors saturate the palate on the persistent, juicy, firmly tannic finish. Rating: 87-90 Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar (May 2006)

Château Poujeaux

Château Poujeaux sits on the Grand Poujeaux, a Gunzian gravel mound of similar constitution to the more illustrious communes of the Haut-Médoc. Alongside Château Chasse-Spleen, Poujeaux is one of the leading estates in Moulis and offers great value to the discerning Haut-Médoc consumer. Moulis sits a little way back from the Gironde, between Saint Julien and Margaux. 16th century records show that the estate was owned by Gaston de L'Isle, then owner of Chateau Latour, although this is some time before wine production began at Poujeaux during the 19th Century. Since 2008 Château Poujeaux has been owned by Philippe Cuvelier, also owner of Saint Emilion estate Clos Fourtet. There are around 100 hectares of vineyard planted with 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc and 5% Petit Verdot.
