| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 45% Merlot en 5% Petit Verdot. Veel wijnliefhebbers onderhouden heerlijke herinneringen aan oudere wijnen van Poujeaux. Ik zelf vond de 1975 ooit verbluffend. 2019 biedt evenzeer potentieel. « Le souffle de la mort » hield zich koest wanneer een voorjaarsvorst akelig dichtbij kwam, maar het rendement zou uiteindelijk 48hl/ha halen. Christophe Labenne spreekt van geluk na zijn 20ste millésime: « Quel plaisir de recevoir en chai une récolte abondante, d’une belle complexité aromatique de violette, de cassis et de notes florales, et dont le potentiel tannique s’est très vite révélé fin et élégant ! » Energie lijkt te trillen in de superzachte milieu de bouche. Zowel heerlijke buvabilité als bewaarpotentieel worden met brio aangeboden. 2019 leverde een bloedmooie Poujeaux. IN DE PERS 94 Neal Martin – vinous.com (Februari 2022) The 2019 Poujeaux has a very delineated, focused bouquet of blackberry, cedar, mint and light tea leaf scents, one of the most complex I have encountered from this great estate in recent years. The medium-bodied palate is fresh, vibrant and grippy, with slightly chalky tannins and a saline, persistent finish. Quite structured and broody, this Moulis deserves ample time in bottle. Drink 2027-2055. 93-95 Neal Martin – vinous.com (Juni 2020) The 2019 Poujeaux has a more introverted bouquet than some of its Moulis associates, though it opens nicely offering black cherries, liquorice, pressed iris petals and touches of crushed stone. The palate is medium-bodied with insistent grip on the entry. This Poujeaux has good backbone, almost Pauillac-like in style with a dense and persistent finish that augers for a long-term wine that will repay those with the nous to cellar it a few years. Superb. Drink 2027-2055. 90-92 Antonio Galloni – vinous.com (Juni 2020) The 2019 Poujeaux is gorgeous. Pliant and radiant in the glass, with terrific palate presence, the 2019 captures all the richness of the year and yet also stays light on its feet. Sage, rose petal, spice and sweet macerated cherry all grace this ethereal, vivid and very pretty Poujeaux. 92 William Kelley - robertparker.com (April 2022) A fleshy, dramatic rendition of this Moulis benchmark, the 2019 Poujeaux unwinds in the glass with a deep bouquet of blackberries and plums mingled with subtle hints of cigar wrapper, loamy soil and violets. Medium to full-bodied, velvety and layered, it's deep and seamless, with succulent acids, powdery tannins and a long, expansive finish. This has turned out brilliantly and numbers among the real sleepers of the vintage. Drink 2023-2045. In total, Château Poujeaux amounts to some 70 hectares, but the core of the blend derives from a 50-hectare block on a deep gravel dome that many consider the finest terroir in Moulis. Cabernet Franc hasn't worked well here, so the tendency is to replant with Cabernet Sauvignon, which today amounts to around 50% of the estate's surface area. Charm and refinement are the order of the day here, winemaker Laurent Perroteau and proprietor Matthieu Cuvelier disclaiming any desire to "be what they are not": vinification is classical, with temperatures up to 28 degrees Celsius, followed by malolactic in tank and maturation in some 30% new oak for 12 months on the fine lees. The result is a supple, fragrant, seamless wine, and the 2019 stands out as a particularly fine Poujeaux, one of the best of the modern era. It's one of Bordeaux's greatest values and a château I'm happy to have in my own cellar—back to the terrific 1928 no less! 86-88 Lisa Perrotti-Brown – robertparker.com (Juni 2020) Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2019 Poujeaux has an oh-so-tempting nose of blackcurrant pastilles, redcurrant jelly and warm plums with touches of pencil lead, underbrush, cinnamon toast and wild thyme. The medium-bodied palate has a fair bit of chewiness giving way to loads of lovely, ripe fruit with soft acidity, finishing savory. 92 Jane Anson – decanter.com (Juni 2020) 15,5/20 James Lawther MW – jancisrobinson.com (Juni 2020) Muted dark-fruit aromatics. A touch of sweetness on attack but not overdone. Fleshy mid palate. Firm tannic frame behind but the finish a little tough and chewy. Trying too hard? Drink 2025-2032. 93-94 James Suckling – jamessuckling.com (Juni 2020) 91-93 Yohan Castaign – anthocyanes.com (Juni 2020) 92-94 Jeff Leve – winecellarinsider.com (Juni 2020) Fresh and already showing loads of flowers, dark cocoa, black cherry and wet earth on the nose. Round, soft and approachable, you can enjoy all the ripe, sweet, lush fruits with just a few years of aging. And even better, you can keep it for up to 2 decades. 94 Terre de Vins – terredesvins.com (Juni 2020) IN DE WOORDEN VAN DE WIJNMAKER Robe profonde grenat, s’irise de reflets violets. Nez de bonne intensité, de violette, cassis, pierre à fusil, boîte à cigare. Attaque souple, veloutée, homogène. Tannins soyeux, grande minéralité. Beaucoup de finesse et d’élégance. Persistance aromatique remarquable. PoujeauxSinds de XXste Eeuw is Poujeaux het toonaangevend Château van Moulis-en-Médoc tussen Margaux en Saint-Julien.
