critic reviews
The 2025 Poujeaux, which has a little more Cabernet Sauvignon, was cropped at 27 hl/ha. It has a well-defined bouquet with black fruit tinged with freshly shucked oyster shell. Classical in style, honed and focused. The palate is medium-bodied with quite rounded, malleable tannins. Fine acidity, black fruit in the driving seat, with more red fruit emerging towards the refined finish. This is a superb Moulis that will age for many years.
Deep plum colour, vivid with bright reflections, has the fresh acidities of the vintage balanced out by rich deep fruits, toasted spice, floral fragrance and austere tannins that speaks of ageing ability. Derenoncourt Consulting. Philippe and Mathieu Cuvelier owners. 3.72 pH. Harvest September 11 to 23. 25% new oak.
Offering up attractive aromas of petals, dark berries and cigar wrapper, the 2025 Poujeaux is medium-bodied, with a sweet core of fruit and lively acids but surprisingly firm tannins that assert themselves on the chewy finish. Perhaps, like the 2022, it will round out with more time in barrel? It's a blend of 52% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot and 8% Petit Verdot.
