Gracieux et superbe! Poujeaux 2015 is een absoluut heerlijke wijn; hij is succulent zacht, rond en volmondig, groots en precies, fijn en delicaat. Alles tegelijk! We moeten de geniale consulent Stéphane Derenoncourt en de gepassioneerde eigenaar Mathieu Cuvelier feliciteren voor deze bijzondere Poujeaux. Een schot in de roos! Bravo…

The 2015 Poujeaux has a fragrant, quite floral bouquet of pretty red berry fruit, rose petal and damp undergrowth scents. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly coarse tannin, but there is a fine bead of acidity and a pleasing tobacco-stained finish. Fine, but not long-term. Tasted blind at the Southwold 2015 Bordeaux tasting.

The 2015 Poujeaux has a very able bouquet with blackberry, briary and subtle undergrowth scents, hints of boysenberry jam developing with time. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red berry fruit, redcurrant and a tang of marmalade. I would have liked a little more structure to come through, although there is decent length here. Fine, but I still feel that this estate can aim for higher. Anticipated maturity: 2020 - 2032.
90-92 Neal Martin – The Wine Advocate Issue #224 – erobertparker.com (April 2016)
The 2015 Poujeaux is a blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 42% Merlot, 6% Petit Verdot and 2% Cabernet Franc. It has a high-toned, floral bouquet with kirsch and raspberry coulis notes, opulent for this Moulis, but it manages to retain control. The palate is chewy on the entry with mouth-coating tannin, solid in the mouth, brutish at the moment, although the finish does show satisfactory freshness, and is long and minerally. This will be intriguing once in bottle. Drink: 2020-2035.
92-93 James Suckling – jamessuckling.com (Maart 2016)
Shows excellent depth of fruit with chewy and polished tannins. Full and very long. Gorgeous length.
90 Antonio Galloni - vinous.com (Februari 2018)
The 2015 Poujeaux is gorgeous and open-knit, with lovely fruit presence, soft contours and tons of near to medium-term appeal. Silky tannins add to the wine's inviting personality. The sweet red cherry and plum flavors have an extra dimension of richness and deepness in 2015 that is unusual, but that also adds to the wine's undeniable allure. This is a gorgeous wine from the Cuvelier family. The blend is 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 42% Merlot, 6% Petit Verdot and 2% Cabernet Franc. Drink 2018-2025.
88-90 Antonio Galloni – Vinous - vinous.com (April 2016)
The 2015 Poujeaux is shaping up to be a huge overachiever in this vintage. Rich, layered and generous, the 2015 offers considerable near and medium term appeal. This is a strong showing from the Cuvelier family. Stéphane Derenoncourt and Julien Lavenu are the consulting winemakers.
88-91 James Molesworth - Wine Spectator – winespectator.com (Maart 2016)
Subtle tea and sandalwood notes meld nicely with the core of lightly steeped red currant fruit. Features a gentle cocoa powder edge on the elegant finish.
91 Jeannie Cho Lee – Forbes Magazine (19 april 2016)
A delicious, well made Poujeaux that offers plums, mocha and cassis fruit. Generous, quite open and plush, well handled tannins and good finish.
90 Stephen Spurrier - Decanter Magazine – decanter.com (April 2016)
Big, plummy but lifted Cabernet-Merlot flavours. Shows the usual richness of Poujeaux with more finesse and grip this year. Drink: 2021-2032

91 Tim Atkin – timatkin.com (April 2016)
Poujeaux rarely disappoints, making wines that are often of classed growth standard. This is a dense, serious, focused claret with notes of wood smoke, black tea and blackcurrant, fine oak and taut acidity. Drink: 2020-2028.
PoujeauxSinds de XXste Eeuw is Poujeaux het toonaangevend Château van Moulis-en-Médoc tussen Margaux en Saint-Julien. De wijngaard bestaat uit “une belle croupe graveleuse” van 65 hectare op Graves de Günz beplant met 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc en 5% Petit Verdot.
Dank zij de familie Theil werd Poujeaux Cru Bourgeois Exceptionnel. Vanaf 2008 bliezen de Heren Philippe en Matthieu Cuvelier, toen al eigenaars van Clos Fourtet in Saint Emilion, nieuw leven in de schone slaapster: ambitieuze investeringen, strenge selectie en zin voor excellentie houden de wijnen van Poujeaux op een bijzonder hoog niveau. Christophe Labenne leidt het Châtau en Stéphane Derenoncourt is er consulent. CuvelierPhilippe Cuvelier kocht het befaamde Clos Fourtet in 2001. Samen met zijn zoon Matthieu kocht hij ondertussen Poujeaux in Moulis, maar ook Grandes Murailles en Côte de Baleau in Saint Emilion. Ze bezitten in minderheidsaandeel in Clos Saint Martin. |
