Château Poujeaux is one of the best known estates of Moulis en Médoc, with vineyards on the gravel rich soils of the Médoc's Left Bank. Often admired for delivering classic Bordeaux character without the price commanded by the more famous classified growths of neighbouring Margaux and Saint Julien, Poujeaux has a long reputation for producing structured, age-worthy Cabernet led claret.  The 2009 vintage was outstanding in Bordeaux, combining beautifully ripe fruit with the concentration and structure needed for long ageing.

"The finest wine I have tasted from Poujeaux over the last 33 years, the 2009 is the second vintage under the ownership of the Cuvelier family, who made the absolutely monumental 2009 Clos Fourtet. This large vineyard of over 100 acres has always had a relatively lofty reputation for the best wine of Moulis. The consultants on the 2009 were Nicolas Thienpont and Stephane Derenoncourt, and they have produced a blockbuster Poujeaux that certainly qualifies as one of the sleepers of the vintage it is a wine to seek out, as it is reasonably priced. Drink 2012-2032."  Robert Parker, Dec 2011
