Bettane & Desseauve
Wine rated (2018 guide) 16,5/20 (Reference wine)
Rated estate (2022 guide): 2*Stars (A solid, recommendable wine, though slightly more consistent and uniform than the previous vintage)
About the wine:
Beautiful intensity, red and black fruit, powerful yet ripe tannins, lovely length and body, good balance. Solid and robust, with truly mature tannins. Lovely finish. One of the most successful wines in the château’s recent history and a classic of the region.
About the estate:
Owned by the Cuvelier family since 2008 (which also owns Clos Fourtet in Saint-Émilion), this vineyard—with its deep gravel soils on the Grand Poujeaux plateau—benefits not only from exceptional terroirs but also from state-of-the-art facilities. Under the guidance of Stéphane Derenoncourt, it produces one of the finest Moulis wines available, rich yet remarkably smooth.

About the estate:
Although omitted from the 1855 classification—since Moulis had long been a grain-growing region—this cru is nonetheless among the most renowned in the Médoc. Formerly a seigneury under the jurisdiction of Latour Saint-Maubert—later to become Château Latour—it experienced a resurgence in the 1920s under the Theil family, who consolidated the vineyard into a single 68-hectare block on the beautiful gravel terroir of Grand-Poujeaux and elevated the estate to the pinnacle of the appellation. Since 2008, it has been owned by Philippe Cuvelier, owner of Clos Fourtet (a First Growth of Saint-Émilion), who maintains the estate’s high standards of quality.

About the wine:
An elegant wine with vibrant, spicy black fruit flavors and a hint of graphite that adds a touch of complexity. Smooth and delicate on the palate, with a crisp finish.

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:
In addition to its usual smoothness and elegance, the 2015 offers even greater depth. A full-bodied and very appealing wine that will age well.
About the estate:
An iconic estate within the appellation, Poujeaux has been owned by the Cuvelier family (Clos Fourtet) since 2008. Under the leadership of its director, Christophe Labenne—advised by Stéphane Derenoncourt—the wines have steadily improved, reaching a solid level of consistency, so much so that the estate remains a benchmark within the appellation. The style leans toward finesse and elegance, which suits the wine perfectly; it also ages very well. The most recent vintages are particularly impressive.
