Description

Château Poujeaux 2016

Appellation: Moulis-en-Médoc, Bordeaux, France

Classification: Cru Bourgeois Exceptionnel

Ownership: Merlaut family

Grape varieties: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot, Cabernet Franc

Vintage: 2016

Origin and background

The 2016 vintage, characterised by a hot, dry summer followed by a cool autumn, enabled the grapes to ripen to perfection. Château Poujeaux, situated on a rich gravelly terroir, offers a wine combining power, elegance and finesse, typical of this very successful vintage.

Tasting

Colour: Deep red with purplish highlights.

Nose: Intense and complex. Aromas of ripe black fruit (blackcurrant, blackberry), red fruit (raspberry), spicy notes (pepper, liquorice) and woody nuances (cedar, vanilla).

Palate: Full, silky attack. Well-structured, elegant tannins. Dense and well-balanced mid-palate, with pure fruit and pleasant freshness. Long, harmonious finish with spicy, woody notes.

Review

- Wine Advocate: 93/100

- Vinous (Neal Martin): 92/100

- James Suckling: 94/100

Suggested pairings

Pairs perfectly with grilled or roasted red meats (fillet of beef, entrecote), roast lamb, roast poultry (guinea fowl, duck), as well as savoury stews. Also good with mature hard cheeses (Comté, Parmesan) and blue-veined cheeses.
