“Creamy and smooth, this is a Poujeaux of the highest caliber—one worth waiting for! ~ Yves Beck”

“Poujeaux 2022 is a true burst of energy. An explosion of dark red and blue fruits, cedar, pipe tobacco, incense, new leather, and licorice floods the palate. Dense, powerful, and explosive, the 2022 certainly does not go unnoticed. It captures the very essence of the vintage in a perfect balance between fruity opulence and energy. I would recommend cellaring it for at least a few years. A wine of great richness.” (Vinous 2025) - Delivery in a wooden case is available for orders of 6 bottles of this wine (depending on the country and selected shipping method)

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 (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.

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—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.

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 nose is intense, with very distinct and luscious fruit notes. On the palate, it showcases this charming character, with body and a lot of silkiness. One of the most well-rounded wines from recent vintages.

About the estate:

An iconic estate in 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 in the appellation. The style leans toward finesse and elegance, which suits the wine perfectly—and it ages very well nonetheless. The most recent vintages are particularly impressive.

Rated "Recommended"

About the wine:

This wine is very structured and tannic, but its phenolic aromas are exceptionally refined and beautifully smooth. It offers notes of blackcurrant and minerals, intertwined with fresh herbs such as thyme and bay leaf. Medium-bodied, it features firm, silky tannins and a long, intense finish. It will age beautifully. Excellent value for a wine meant for aging. Blend: 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 42% Merlot, and 3% Petit Verdot. Wait until 2030 for it to mellow.

Wine rated (2023 guide) 94-95/100

About the wine:

What sets it apart is its well-crafted structure, which gives the impression of a full-bodied wine. The nose remains subtle at this stage, while the palate displays a dense, very pronounced tannic structure, a fresh framework, depth, and body. Subtle notes of roasted coffee and cooked black cherry. Excellent aging potential.

Wine rated (2024 guide) 94/100

About the wine:

The Poujeaux bouquet is rich in detail and complexity. Hints of red berries, paired with notes of licorice and candied fruit, combine maturity with freshness. Creamy and smooth on the palate, the wine is full-bodied with robust, fine-grained tannins. Elegance takes center stage on the finish, which is fruity and lingering. A truly exceptional Poujeaux that will require patience to fully appreciate. 2028–2047
