Origin and background
The 2016 vintage, characterised by a hot, dry summer followed by a temperate autumn, enabled the grapes to ripen slowly and completely. Château Poujeaux, located on the gravelly terroir of Moulis, produces a balanced, powerful and elegant wine, true to the style of the estate.
