“Round, full-bodied, and well-rounded, it possesses tannins of remarkable finesse. Racy and smooth.” (Grand Guide des Vins de France 2010 - Bettane & Desseauve) A true classic of its appellation!

Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2022 guide): 2 stars (A solid, recommendable production, though slightly more consistent and uniform than the previous one)
About the estate:
Owned by the Cuvelier family since 2008 (who also own Clos Fourtet in Saint-Émilion), this vineyard—with its deep gravel soils on the Grand Poujeaux plateau—benefits from exceptional terroirs as well as state-of-the-art facilities. Under the guidance of Stéphane Derenoncourt, it produces one of the finest Moulis wines available, combining richness with great smoothness.
Guide Hachette des vins
Rated estate (2021 guide) Award-winning wines (This producer’s wines regularly receive awards from the guide)
About the estate:
Although omitted from the 1855 classification—as Moulis had long been a region devoted to grain farming—this cru is nonetheless among the most renowned in the Médoc. A former seigneury under the jurisdiction of Latour Saint-Maubert—later 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 fine 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.

RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Rated estate (2022 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or quality winemakers producing wines of a high standard—you won’t be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)
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, and with advice from Stéphane Derenoncourt, the wines have steadily improved, reaching a solid level of quality, so much so that the estate remains a benchmark within the appellation. The style leans toward finesse and elegance, which suits the wine perfectly, though it also ages very well. The latest vintages are worth trying.
