Chateau Poujeaux 2022

From France’s Bordeaux region, in the esteemed Moulis-en-Médoc appellation, Château Poujeaux has long been admired for its refined and elegant expressions of Left Bank claret. With origins dating back to the 16th century and now under the Cuvelier family’s stewardship, the château continues to uphold a legacy of craftsmanship and balance.

Wine Description
The 2022 Château Poujeaux displays a deep garnet hue and aromas of dark berries, cassis, and black cherries, with subtle herbal nuances and pencilled spice. Medium to full-bodied, it is supported by velvety, structured tannins and refined minerality, reflecting both strength and finesse.

Food Pairing
Pairs splendidly with hearty dishes such as roast lamb, grilled ribeye, or duck breast. It also complements rich, earthy fare like wild mushroom risotto or aged cheeses, bringing out its structured fruit and depth.

Vintage Quality
The 2022 vintage brought intense heat and dry conditions—yet still delivered wines with clarity, freshness, and concentration in the best estates. At Poujeaux, this translated into a wine with both power and poise, a polished balance that promises rewarding aging in a classic Médoc style.
