Château Poujeaux 2011 - Moulis-en-Médoc - Cru Bourgeois Exceptionnel

Château Poujeaux, a benchmark in the Moulis-en-Médoc appellation, has been classified Cru Bourgeois Exceptionnel since 2020. This historic estate produces elegant, well-structured, accessible wines that faithfully express the character of their terroir.

Blend

    - 48% Cabernet Sauvignon, 45% Merlot, 7% Petit Verdot

A typical Médoc blend, where the Merlot plays a softening role while leaving room for the structure of the Cabernet Sauvignon and the complexity of the Petit Verdot.

Tasting

    - Colour : Dark ruby with garnet highlights.

    - Nose: Aromas of ripe black fruit (blackcurrant, blackberry), spices, light tobacco, hints of toasted wood.

    - Matured cheeses

Cellaring potential
