Over het wijnhuis | De naam Château Poujeaux verscheen voor het eerst in 1806, maar ‘Terre de Poujeaux’ gelegen in Moulis-en-Médoc, bestond al in de middeleeuwen. Het was ook nog een tijdje bekend onder de naam Château Poujeaux-Theil, maar de familie Theil is inmiddels van het toneel verdwenen en het landgoed wordt nu beheerd door de familie Cuvelier, tevens eigenaar van het beroemde Clos Fourtet, 1er Grand Cru Classé, Saint-Émilion. |

Awards | "This has a dusty character with black cherries and currants, as well as hints of cocoa, wet earth and raw mushrooms. Medium- to full-bodied with ripe, plush tannins that continue to build up throughout the deep, dark-fruited palate. It’s a muscular Poujeaux with a spicy and chocolatey finish. Try after 2026." - James Suckling "54% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot, 6% Petit Verdot. Deep cherry red. Intensely fruited on the nose, dark and vibrant, a hint of oak char. Lots of dark chocolate on the palate, both flavour and texture, almost a savoury quality in the char but overall a finely textured, refined wine that needs time to come out of its shell. Elegant tannins. (JH)" - Jancis Robinson "The 2020 Poujeaux is a wonderful Moulis-en-Médoc and likely to offer superb value-for-money. Bright blackberry commingles with blueberry and graphite on the nose, quite intense and determined to make an impression. The palate is structured but well balanced, the silver thread of acidity running from start to finish. A little glossy in style towards the finish, that will be tempered by bottle-age which Poujeaux always needs. Don't ignore this." - Vinous "Bramble fruits on the nose. Supple and generous, this has quite clear salty minerality, with pencil lead, cola and liquorice elements lining the fruit, giving this a dark, seductive tone. Good depth, texture and weight. Round, complete, driven, deep and long. Feels a touch closed and pent up right now, or all in one line, but clearly stylish. A touch of spice on the finish, with some dark chocolate bitterness that lingers. Shows power right now, rather than softness of fruit that will come in time." - Decanter |
