Ratings: 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, vivid garnet color are matched by an equally seductive bouquet with aromas of ripe fruit, toasted notes, and spices, accented by floral nuances. Built on noble oak and robust tannins—yet without any harshness—the palate is powerful and robust, while retaining genuine elegance and remarkable balance. A true great wine for aging; it would be a shame to serve it before at least four or five years. ” (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2014) • Delivered in a wooden case for orders of 6 bottles of this wine shipped within France •

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 (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, both rich and exceptionally smooth.
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—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 boom in the 1920s under the Theil family, who consolidated the vineyard into a single 68-hectare block on the beautiful gravelly 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 Saint-Émilion Premier Grand Cru Classé), 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 high-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 in 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 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, though it also ages very well. The most recent vintages are particularly impressive.
