Description
Château Poujeaux 2015 is a distinguished expression of Moulis-en-Médoc, one of the Médoc’s most consistently reliable appellations, known for producing wines that balance structure, charm, and value. The outstanding 2015 vintage in Bordeaux delivered optimal ripeness and balance, and Poujeaux captures this harmony with clarity and finesse.
Typically dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon, with Merlot and smaller proportions of Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc, the wine opens with an inviting aromatic profile. The nose reveals blackcurrant, ripe plum, and dark cherry, layered with classic Médoc notes of cedar, tobacco leaf, and a touch of graphite. Subtle spice and gentle oak integration add further complexity.
On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, with a supple yet structured frame. The tannins are fine-grained and well integrated, providing shape without aggression. A core of ripe dark fruit is balanced by fresh acidity, giving the wine lift and precision. As it evolves in the glass, savoury undertones of earth, spice, and subtle mineral notes emerge, adding depth and character.
Château Poujeaux 2015 is now entering a very enjoyable drinking window, offering both approachability and the capacity for further short- to mid-term ageing. It pairs beautifully with roast lamb, beef, duck, or mushroom-based dishes. A confident and well-balanced Moulis that reflects the quality of the vintage and the estate’s reputation for classic, reliable Bordeaux.
