Château Poujeaux - 2019

Origin : Moulis-en-Médoc, Bordeaux, France

Type : Red wine

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

Tasting Notes

Colour : Deep, intense red with purple highlights.

Nose: Expressive and complex, with aromas of ripe black fruit (blackcurrant, blackberry), fine spices, tobacco and graphite. Subtle floral notes and a hint of smoke add depth.

Palate: Full, silky attack, supported by fine, well-integrated tannins. The palate is generous and dense, with a fine concentration of fruit and elegant minerality. The finish is long, balanced between power and freshness, with remarkable aromatic persistence.

Suggested pairings

Ideal with grilled or roasted red meats, such as entrecôte, rack of lamb or boeuf bourguignon. It also goes well with dishes in sauce such as wild boar stew or duck breast with red fruit. For a more refined match, a risotto with wild mushrooms or a dish of mature cheeses, such as Comté or Bleu, will highlight its complexity.
