From the Moulis region in the southern part of the Médoc, the 2017 Château Poujeaux has a classic, pretty, red fruit-driven style as well as lots of spice and floral nuances, medium body, light tannin, and terrific purity. It’s quite likely the best wine in the appellation.

Nez de fruits mûrs avec des notes balsamiques. Le corps se caractérise par une très jolie finesse et une superbe fraîcheur d’expression, il jouit d’un côté presque aérien qui lui sied bien.

The 2017 Poujeaux is soft, fruity and forward, all qualities that are best enjoyed over the near and medium term. Super-ripe red berry, spice and floral notes are all fused together in this racy, open-knit Moulis. Above all else, the 2017 is beautifully persistent, deep and long. Frost took out some of the lower lying parcels. As a result, the wine is heavier on Cabernet Sauvignon and emerges from the core parcels on the estate. In 2017, Poujeaux is 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Merlot and 7% Petit Verdot, which is more Cabernet than in the past, a result of frost damage. Tasted two times.

Spice, flowers, espresso bean, red plum and black cherry scents mingle on the nose. On the palate, this is way cush yet spicy with a cheerful, red fruit character. The wine was made from blending 62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot and 13% Petit Verdot. Th

The 2017 Poujeaux has a generous, slightly smudged bouquet with cranberry, raspberry and cedar aromas, just a little greenness in the background. The palate is medium-bodied with fine grain tannin, dark berry fruit, black pepper and a little graphite. It just misses a sense of energy that I have found on the finest vintages of this Moulis, although there is a pleasant sappiness that develops.

Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, the 2017 Poujeaux has a nose of crushed black currants, blackberries and black pepper with touches of garrigue and bay leaves. The palate is medium-bodied with a firm, grippy structure and a slightly hollow mid-palate, finishing a little chewy.

This is very pretty for the vintage with berries, currants and hints of nutmeg. Medium to full body. Savory finish already.
