2009 Château Poujeaux, Moulis-en-Médoc, Bordeaux

Description

When we drove to the Right Bank, the last thing we expected was to be blown away by Ch. Poujeaux - but this wine turned out to be the greatest (and most pleasant) surprise of the day. With the vibrant, deep inky colour of the vintage and dense, juicy blackcurrant fruit with a lovely earthy complexity, this wine just oozes with super-ripe tannins and harmonious oak. One to add to the Wish List.

"Having sold out of Ch. du Tertre in an hour this morning, we have a another cracker to offer and it is actually slightly cheaper than I thought it was going to be too! With a vibrant, deep inky colour and dense, juicy, blackcurrant fruit held together by a lovely earthy complexity, this wine just oozes pleasure. It is very rare we offer Ch. Poujeaux but none of either the buying or selling teams has tasted such a fabulous offering. One to add to the cellar."

Critics reviews

Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW 90/100
The 2009 Poujeaux has a medium to deep garnet color and delivers expressive blackberry preserves, prunes, sauted herbs and fragrant earth notes with hints of tobacco and fallen leaves. Medium-bodied with refreshing acidity and a chewy texture supporting the earthy flavors in the mouth, it finishes on a stewed tea note. Drinking well right now!Lisa Perrotti-Brown - 14/03/2019

Black red, very rich and spicy, even exotic berry fruit, good smooth rich flavours backed by firm ripe tannins, lots of depth and good long-term.

Very dark. Scented and quite plush and rich and fragrant. Lots of pleasure and very ripe but not overripe. jancis_robinson_mw MW - JancisRobinson.com - Apr 09

Robert Parker 92/100
The final blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot and the rest Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot was cropped very low at 35 hectoliters per hectare. Deep purple, with a nose of subtle smoke, graphite, blueberry and black raspberry fruit as well as some spring flowers, in the mouth a touch of oak makes an appearance, but the wine is full-bodied, rich, inky and unctuously textured due to the high glycerin and alcohol that hits 14% plus. This beauty should drink well for up to two decades. The finest wine I have tasted from Poujeaux over the last 33 years, the 2009 is the second vintage under the ownership of the Cuvelier family, who made the absolutely monumental 2009 Clos Fourtet. This large vineyard of over 100 acres has always had a relatively lofty reputation for the best wine of Moulis. The consultants on the 2009 were Nicolas Thienpont and Stephane Derenoncourt, and they have produced a blockbuster Poujeaux that certainly qualifies as one of the sleepers of the vintage it is a wine to seek out, as it is reasonably priced. robert_parker - Wine Advocate - Feb 2012

Full and very velvety, with round and juicy tannins. Creamy. New ownership here is really making a difference in wine quality; this is the best ever after maybe the 1929. james_suckling - Wine Spectator - March 2010
