Notes: Robert Parker 90/100, RVF 16.5/20, Bettane & Desseauve 16/20, Guide Hachette 2** (Remarkable wine) + Coup de Coeur
"The intensity and elegance of the beautiful bright garnet color is matched by an equally seductive bouquet with aromas of ripe fruit, toast, and spices complemented by floral nuances. Built on noble oak and muscular tannins, without harshness, the palate is powerful and robust, while retaining real elegance and remarkable balance. An authentic great wine for aging, which would be a shame to serve before at least four or five years.

Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2022 guide) 2 stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little 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 deep gravel soils on the Grand Poujeaux plateau benefits from exceptional terroirs and optimal facilities. With advice from Stéphane Derenoncourt, the result is one of the finest moulis wines available, both rich and extremely smooth.

Rated estate (2021 guide) Award-winning wines (This producer's wines are regularly recognized by the guide)
About the estate:
Omitted from the 1855 classification, Moulis remained a grain-growing region for a long time, but this wine is nonetheless one of the most renowned in the Médoc. Formerly a seigneury dependent on Latour Saint-Maubert, later Ch. Latour, it flourished in the 1920s under the Theil family, who unified the vineyard, now covering 68 hectares in a single block on the beautiful gravelly terroir of Grand-Poujeaux, and brought the estate to the top of the appellation. Since 2008, it has been owned by Philippe Cuvelier, owner of Clos Fourtet (1st Grand Cru Classé of Saint-Émilion), who maintains the high standards of quality.

Rated estate (2022 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or quality winemakers producing good-quality wines; you won't be disappointed when tasting the wines from these estates)
About the estate:
An iconic property in the appellation, Poujeaux has belonged to 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 good cruising speed, so much so that the vintage remains a benchmark in the appellation. The style tends towards finesse and elegance, which suits the wine perfectly as it ages very well. The latest vintages are well worth trying.
