Dichtes Purpur mit lila Rand. Kompaktes, blaubeeriges Bouquet mit pfeffriger Würze unterlegt. Am kräftigen Gaumen mit tintigem Extrakt, viel Fülle zeigend, im Finale ein Korb voll blauer Beeren – gehört neben Branas GP zur Spitze inMoulis. Bravo!

The 2016 Poujeaux has an impressive bouquet with plenty of blackberry, briary and cigar box aromas that are very well defined. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannin on the entry. This is a "smoky" Poujeaux with commendable depth and structure, a little more "solid" than recent vintages with good depth on the black pepper-tinged finish. The 2015 Poujeaux was very good, but this may well surpass that and achieve the level of some of the legendary wines from yesteryear.

With a straight shot of espresso, tobacco, cigar box, cassis and wet, forest floor aromas, the wine is full bodied, fresh, sweet and has structure, allowing it to age, and personality which will improve with cellaring. There is an earthy, blackberry character here, with round tannins that allow the character to shine through. From a blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot, the wine reached 13.5% alcohol.

The 2016 Poujeaux is fabulous. Rich, deep and beautifully layered, it has a level of pure intensity I don't recall seeing in the past. Succulent red/bluish fruit and silky tannins add to the wine's considerable finesse. Racy and succulent to the core, yet still very much medium in body, the 2016 delivers the goods. The blend is 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot. This is a terrific showing from the Cuvelier family and winemakers Stéphane Derenoncourt and Julien Lavenu. Don't miss it. Tasted two times.

(60 Cabernet Sauvignon, 35 Merlot, 5 Petit Verdot) | 40% new oak | 13.8% alc. A classic, powerful, masculine Poujeaux - this is always a reliable Château and in 2016 they have managed to make a rich, heady wine but one with perfectly controlled alcohol and tannin. 17+

Dark purple. Great polish and ripeness on the nose. A broad, palate-filling wine that's not too sweet and finishes with very appetising dry tannins. Just slightly inky and demanding on the finish.16+
