Château POUJEAUX 2019
Château Poujeaux is an estate located in the Moulis-en-Médoc sub-appellation in Haut-Médoc, on the left bank of the Gironde in Bordeaux . The castle belongs to the Cuvelier family . Located in Haut-Médoc, Château Poujeaux favors Cabernet Sauvignon in the production of its three wines: the grand wine is mainly made from Cabernet Sauvignon, blended with Merlot and smaller quantities of Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc .
In the now-defunct 2003 Cru Bourgeois classification, Château Poujeaux received the status of Cru Bourgeois Exceptionnel – the highest rating for a Médoc château not included in the 1855 classification. In 2010, a heavily revised Cru Bourgeois label was reintroduced which did not establish a tiered system and, as a result, Château Poujeaux and five other houses which had been named Cru Bourgeois Exceptionnel formed their own group called Les Exceptionnels outside of the new classification.
Château Poujeaux 2019 is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (50%), Merlot (45%), and Petit Verdot (5%) . Vatting lasts 20 to 25 days in concrete and stainless steel vats with regular pumping over. The wine is aged for 12 months in barrels , 30% of which are new.
Grape varieties: 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 45% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot
