Château Poujeaux, Moulis en Médoc 2018

Château Poujeaux 2018 is a classic Médoc red from the Moulis-en-Médoc appellation, combining the structure of Cabernet Sauvignon with the richness and suppleness of Merlot. From one of Moulis’s most respected estates, this vintage offers the depth, freshness and polished tannins associated with a fine Bordeaux year, while retaining the château’s traditional, age-worthy style.

Tasting Notes
Deep garnet in colour, the wine opens with aromas of ripe blackcurrant, blackberry and plum, layered with cedar, tobacco leaf, graphite and subtle spice. On the palate, it is full-bodied yet balanced, with concentrated dark-fruit flavours, well-integrated oak and firm but refined tannins. A fresh mineral edge adds definition to the finish, which is long and savoury. The 2018 vintage is approachable with decanting, but its structure and concentration suggest excellent development potential. It should continue to mature gracefully for around 10–15 years, with well-stored bottles likely gaining further complexity over time.

Production
The vineyards of Château Poujeaux are planted on the deep gravel soils characteristic of the Médoc, which provide excellent drainage and encourage the vines to develop depth while preserving freshness. The blend is based on traditional Médoc varieties, led by Cabernet Sauvignon and supported by Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Grapes are carefully harvested and sorted before fermentation in temperature-controlled vats, followed by maturation in French oak barrels, allowing the fruit, tannins and oak to integrate harmoniously.

Food & Serving
Enjoy Château Poujeaux 2018 at approximately 16–18°C. It pairs particularly well with roast lamb, beef fillet, venison, duck breast and other richly flavoured meat dishes, as well as mature hard cheeses. Decant for 1–2 hours before serving when drinking now; older bottles may benefit from gentle decanting shortly before serving to separate any sediment without over-aerating the wine.
