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. The 2011 vintage, the result of a cool, technical year, offers a balanced, precise wine that is already very pleasant to drink.
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.
- Palate: Round on the palate, with mellow tannins and a velvety texture. Well-balanced, slightly spicy and fresh finish
Food & wine pairing
- Roast or grilled red meat
- Simmered dishes (beef bourguignon, veal stew)
- Mushroom risotto, gratins
- Matured cheeses
Cellaring potential
Château Poujeaux 2011 can be enjoyed now, after a little aeration, but can also be aged until 2028-2030, gaining in complexity.

The palate is fruity, greedy, balanced, and offers an acidic frame, juiciness, and tension. In the mouth, this wine expresses notes of blackcurrant, blackberry.
The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin in the mouth, a keen line of acidity, fine precision here with a mineral-rich finish that exudes terroir expression.
Rich and hearty wine with harmonious but persistant tannins.
Full-bodied, velvety and concentrated, it's rich but lively, with a deep core of fruit and an ample endowment of ripe, powdery tannins.
