Chateau Poujeaux, Moulis Cru Bourgeois

Description

Château Poujeaux lies in the wine-producing district of Moulis-en-Médoc in the Bordeaux region of France. The wines from Château Poujeaux always come with a deep, strong colour. The subtle aromas, the soft, mellow tannins are never aggressive, even in the young wine. The wines are characterised by their power, charm, elegance and character. Such success in the result of the stringent selection of the vats, and of expertise acquired over three generations, duly rewarded twice by winning the Cru Bourgeois Cup. Chateau Poujeaux was purchased by the Cuvelier family in 2008, who also own Clos Fourtet. The Cuvelier family asked Nicolas Thienpoint and Stephane Derenoncourt to consult on the winemaking, whilst still retaining the existing winemaking team. The vineyard covers 52 hectares (130 acres) and produces about 25,000 cases of wine per year. The grape varieties used are 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc and 5% Petit Verdot. A second wine is produced, under the name La Salle de Poujeaux.
