Winery - Château Poujeaux
* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
A big, generous wine, with sweet black fruit flavors that show well with the acidity and the fresh, open tannins. For a wine from 2002, this has richness and good ripe flavors. There is depth as well as power, and this can certainly be counted one of the success stories of 2002.

92-94 Barrel sample. An intensely ripe, fruity wine, which is already well integrated. The intense dark fruits are supported by some new wood and grainy tannins. This is powerful, and, with its acidity, should age well.

90-92 Barrel sample. Power and structure over extreme juicy fruits, with black plum skins, spice from wood and a firm underlay.

A fruit-dominated wine, full of sweet, ripe, juicy flavors. It is not complex, but its richness in this vintage is going to make it very drinkable in five years.

That it was possible to soften the somewhat aggressive tannins of 2007 is shown in this smooth, rich wine. It is certainly a wine for early drinking, but it has ripe berry fruit and fresh acidity, with well-judged tannins.

87-89 Barrel sample. With its tendency to dry tannins, this is a wine that shows more structur than fruit. The wood gives many of those tannins, but the fruit extraction certainly contributes to the dry character.

90–92 Château Poujeaux. It may be powerful, but this wine has great layers of wood and acidity, flavors of blackberries and a juicy, fresh aftertaste.

Undoubtedly one of the two star properties in Moulis. Its quality is impeccable: a Cabernet-dominated wine, with superrich black currant flavors that retain great structure and aging ability. Enjoy this wine in 5–10 years.

This is one of the top two wines of Moulis (the other is Chasse-Spleen), and the 2004 maintains the Poujeaux’s reputation for making wines beyond their class. This is a big wine, exuding power and authority, packed with ripe, but firm tannins and peppered black cherry fruits. With its structure, it will definitely age.

There’s such style here, richness combined with elegance. That means it does have power, shown in the dense black currant juice and ripe tannin character. But at the same time, all the elements are in balance, giving sweet fruit, a dry core and fresh acidity over aging potential.
