"It is rated as a Grand Cru Classé (Neal Martin)"
“The 2019 Branas Grand Poujeaux, grown at 39 hl/ha, offers a delightful bouquet of black cherry, raspberry, and beautifully defined, subtle cedar aromas that gently unfold in the glass. On the palate, it is medium-bodied with fine-grained tannins and a hint of spice. The harmonious, silky, and smooth finish is irresistible. Buy it.” (Vinous 2021). A Grand Moulis!

About the wine:
With a very deep garnet-purple color, the 2019 Branas Grand Poujeaux opens with notes of cedar, cherry cough syrup, and menthol, giving way to a core of blackcurrant liqueur and fruitcake with a hint of hoisin. Medium-bodied to full-bodied, the palate offers generous fruit and a solid structure of robust tannins, finishing with a hint of spice. A bit old-fashioned, but very well made!

Rated Estate (2022 Guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or high-quality winemakers producing wines of a high standard—you won’t be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)
About the wine:
The 2019 vintage is just as full-bodied, but with a slightly more pronounced freshness on the finish; it’s very well-balanced.
About the estate:
Ideally situated between Chasse-Spleen and Poujeaux, on the Grand Poujeaux plateau, the château has been given a new lease on life since its acquisition by Belgian Justin Onclin in 2002. The estate, which boasts remarkable terroir, has been equipped with all the technical facilities necessary for producing a great wine and, for several vintages now, has been offering one of the most alluring and charming Moulis wines available.

About the wine:
This is a very robust Moulis with spicy notes, hints of nuts, nutmeg, and red currants on the nose and palate. It is full-bodied and sweet. It offers depth of fruit and structure. Best enjoyed after 2023.
