justerini & brooks tasting note

2009 and 2010 have produced some exquisite wines and some fantastic values. None more so than the trio of Chasse Spleen, Cantemerle and Poujeaux. These are serious, age-worthy wines that won't break the bank. Poujeaux, now owned by the Cuvelier family and with the help of Nicolas Thienpont and Stephan Derenoncourt are producing some large-scale, impressive wines. Brooding and reserved with hints of mulberry bush, deep, dark, figgy and earthy notes. Classic cassis attack, massive concentration; this is a big wine with impressive length and large-scale tannins. A Poujeaux for the long-term.

critic reviews

91/100Stephen Tanzer,Vinous

Full red-ruby. Bright aromas of dark raspberry, licorice, minerals and espresso are lifted by a floral high note. Juicy, spicy and sharply delineated, with excellent energy to the ripe, complex flavors of dark berries, lead pencil and spices. This very fresh wine shows a very firm spine to support a leisurely evolution in bottle without coming across as austere today. An excellent and serious Poujeaux.
