About:  Château Poujeaux is set upon the magnificent gravel slopes of Grand-Poujeaux, a single unbroken parcel of land to the North-East of Moulis.

Cabernet Sauvignon (50%) and Merlot (40%), the Médoc’s most famous grape varieties, are planted alongside Petit Verdot (5%) and Cabernet Franc (5%). The soil types and grape varieties are perfectly matched, giving rich, elegant wines.

The second wine of the appellation captures the authenticity of the terroir and family spirit. Harvest time is the culmination of a year’s work, generally beginning in mid-September and ending in mid-October. Each plot is picked by hand at optimal maturity, determined with the help of technical analysis and tasting of the berries. The cut grapes are sorted then transferred to the winery. The fruit is separated according to the age of the vines, vineyard location and grape variety in order to obtain separate batches with complimentary characteristics. After a month of alcoholic and malolactic fermentation in vat, ageing takes place in French oak barrels over 12 months.  

Great for drinking now or will age for up to 10 years.

Tasting Notes:  This wine is full of complex and true its terrioir.  A blend of red and bramble fruits, cassis hints of spice, coffee and slight floral notes.  A full, round body with smooth tannins and a long finish.
